Trump amenaza con cortar lazos comerciales con decenas de países si la Fed no rebaja tipos

El presidente de Estados Unidos esgrime el buen dato de empleo del mes de agosto para exigir a la Reserva Federal que recorte el precio del dinero advirtiendo de que si no romperá tratos con los países que tienen superávit comercial con su país. Leer

President Donald Trump threatened to sever commercial ties with dozens of countries if the Federal Reserve does not lower interest rates. The warning came as the U.S. posted impressive employment figures for August, with 162,000 new jobs created, far exceeding the 50,000 expected by Wall Street analysts. Trump argued that the U.S. should have the lowest interest rates in the world, similar to past eras, and warned that high rates put the country at a significant disadvantage.

He specifically directed his threats toward the Federal Reserve's new leader, Kevin Warsh, cautioning him to lower interest rates or face trade disputes with nearly a hundred countries that have trade deficits with the U.S. Trump's threats arise as the Fed prepares to meet on September 16 to determine whether to maintain or raise interest rates to combat inflation.
