💨 Abstract

President Trump is pressuring the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, but economists suggest it may not lead to reduced borrowing costs for consumers. Trump's criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell and tariff policies could cause higher long-term interest rates due to investor concerns about inflation. The Fed primarily controls short-term rates, while long-term rates are influenced by market forces.
