“President Donald Trump lobbed his first volley at the Federal Reserve, saying Thursday that he will apply pressure to bring down interest rates,” CNBC reports.
Said Trump: “I’ll demand that interest rates drop immediately. And likewise, they should be dropping all over the world. Interest rates should follow us all over.”
“The comments represented an initial strike at Fed officials, with whom he had a highly contentious relationship during his first term in office.”
