In his first public comments since the Fed raised interest rates, US President Donald Trump has once again demanded the central bank lower rates.
"Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR," he says in an online statement.
"Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year... LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST!"
