In a renewed appeal for economic stimulus, President Donald Trump has urged the Federal Reserve to decrease interest rates, following the central bank's decision last week to maintain the current rate levels. Addressing this issue during a White House cabinet meeting, Trump emphasized the need for action.

Trump's call for rate cuts is part of his broader strategy to leverage monetary policy in favor of economic expansion. The President has consistently expressed that lower interest rates could provide a significant boost to the economy, ensuring more favorable borrowing conditions for businesses and consumers alike.

The Federal Reserve's recent stance, holding rates steady, has drawn scrutiny from the administration. Trump sees adjustments as vital for sustaining domestic economic momentum in the face of global uncertainties.
