Trump threatens to halt broad trade unless rates are cut

Reported · Written up by our desk · Trade & Tariffs

The New York Times reports that President Trump has renewed threats to halt broad sections of trade if interest rates are not cut.

The outlet says the possibility was raised again this month, and Trump resurfaced the idea on Wednesday.

The move connects trade policy pressure with expectations around the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, as markets weigh the policy implications.
