Trump criticizes interest rates and signals pressure on Iran policy

The remarks came alongside pledges to support crypto regulation amid a crowded day for investors.

CNBC World reports that President Donald Trump complained about what he called “ridiculous” interest rates.

The report says Trump also vowed economic pressure on Iran, and indicated he would back broader support for crypto regulation as part of his approach.

CNBC World frames the comments as coming in a busy environment for investors, with attention split between rates, geopolitics, and regulatory direction for digital assets.
