U.S. President Donald Trump once again called on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, following the release of April’s nonfarm payroll data, which came in stronger than expected.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump emphasized that the economy is still in a “transition phase” and suggested that things are just beginning. He pointed to the data, arguing that consumers have been waiting for prices to fall and that inflation is no longer a concern—therefore, the Fed should act and lower rates.
Trump Pushes for Rate Cuts: Jobs Are Strong, But Rates Still High
According to the latest figures, job growth in April surpassed forecasts. While this indicates continued economic resilience, Trump sees the current high interest rates as an unnecessary burden.
In his statement, Trump wrote, “Just like I said—we’re only getting started!” implying that the economic recovery is unfolding as he predicted. This time, he is using robust labor market performance as leverage to renew his push for lower rates.
Tariffs and Inflation Take Center Stage
Highlighting his economic agenda, Trump stated, “Billions are coming in thanks to tariffs,” referencing the trade policies implemented during his presidency. He claimed these strategies are still delivering results. Trump also argued that price pressures have eased and inflation is no longer a threat, suggesting it’s time for consumers to feel financial relief.
