US President Donald Trump has renewed his public campaign for lower interest rates, specifically targeting Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller in remarks reported by multiple outlets.
The president stated he knows what Waller wants to do, signaling a direct challenge to the governor's stance as the central bank prepares for its upcoming policy decision.
The comments add to a mounting wave of political pressure on the Federal Reserve, with Trump asserting that the United States should maintain the lowest borrowing costs globally.
This intervention comes at a sensitive time for markets, which are closely watching for signals on the Fed's next move amid ongoing debates over inflation and growth.
Handelsavisen's archive shows that Trump has previously criticized the Fed's governance structure and called for aggressive rate cuts.
The latest remarks, however, focus more narrowly on individual policymakers, suggesting a shift in strategy to influence specific votes within the Federal Open Market Committee.
