Trump Threatens to Halt Trade with Countries Running Trade Deficits If Fed Doesn't Cut Rates
핵심 요약
- Trump said he would stop trade with countries running a trade deficit if the Fed does not cut rates.
- Strong August employment data increased expectations of a rate hike.
- Trump claimed the U.S. should have the world's lowest interest rates and demanded the Fed cut rates.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States would stop trading with countries that have a trade deficit with the U.S. if the Federal Reserve does not lower interest rates. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump claimed that high interest rates put the U.S. at a "very unfair disadvantage." This statement came after the release of August employment data that exceeded expectations, strengthening bets on a rate hike later this month.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released data on Friday showing stronger-than-expected job creation in August. This development led investors to increase their bets on an interest rate increase later this month. Trump, meanwhile, argued that the U.S. should have the "lowest interest rates" in the world and repeated his threat.
