FED PREPARES ITS FIRST INTEREST RATE DECISION WITH TRUMP BACK IN OFFICE

The Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to keep interest rates the same in its first meeting under Trump's second term.

Trump wants the Fed to lower interest rates and has spoken about it publicly.

He said at the World Economic Forum that interest rates should drop in the U.S. and worldwide.

Trump often shares his opinions on Fed decisions, unlike past presidents.

He claims to understand interest rates better than the Fed.

He criticized Fed Chairman Jerome Powell but said he won’t remove him before his term ends in 2026.
