Trump's Fed Pledges to Keep Policy on Autopilot Amid Rate Cut Demands

The Federal Reserve has continued to ignore President Donald Trump's demands to lower interest rates, kickstarting its second Trump era with business as usual. The Fed's actions contradict Trump's wishes and suggest a divergence in policy priorities between the president and the central bank. This move indicates that Trump's influence on the Fed may be limited and that the institution is committed to pursuing its own objectives. The outcome of this power struggle has significant implications for economic policy under a Trump presidency.
