"As usual, the Fed did NOTHING! It is incredible that they can 'speak' without knowing or asking what I am doing, which will be announced shortly," Trump tweeted. He described the central bank as "very weak" and added: "My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powel or Chairman Xi?" (Photo by NICHOLAS KAMM / AFP)
就在鲍威尔发表讲话前,特朗普正呼吁美联储大幅减息。特朗普在鲍威尔讲话后不久,于社交媒体推特(Twitter)上发文表示不满。特朗普称,“我唯一的问题是,谁是我们更大的敌人,鲍威尔还是习主席?”(My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?)特朗普还批评美联储像往常一样,什么都没做。“我们有一个非常强劲的美元和一个非常疲弱的美联储。我将‘出色地’与两者合作。”
