"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)
就在鮑威爾發表講話前,特朗普正呼籲美聯儲大幅減息。特朗普在鮑威爾講話後不久,於社交媒體推特(Twitter)上發文表示不滿。特朗普稱,「我唯一的問題是,誰是我們更大的敵人,鮑威爾還是習主席?」(My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?)特朗普還批評美聯儲像往常一樣,什麼都沒做。「我們有一個非常強勁的美元和一個非常疲弱的美聯儲。我將『出色地』與兩者合作。」
