The Federal Reserve could cushion the stroke of the rates on the economy by cutting interest rates, which can encourage companies and families to borrow and spend. But the Fed could have less freedom to move than he would like.

Fed President Jerome Powell said on Friday that rates could increase expectations for inflation.

Trump said that Americans could feel “a little pain” due to rates, but he also said that long -term goals, including more manufacturing jobs in the United States, are worth it. On Thursday he compared the situation to a medical operation, where the American economy is the patient.
