Jordan Kerridge: Trump claims tariffs impact inflation minimally urges Powell to cut rates

In recent remarks, President Donald Trump asserted that tariffs have had a negligible impact on inflation, igniting a debate on the Federal Reserve's policy direction.
Expressing skepticism over current inflation concerns, Trump characterized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's approach as overly cautious, stating that Powell has been ''whining like a baby about non-existent inflation for months.'' He urged the Fed to ''cut interest rates,'' reflecting his belief in a growth-oriented monetary policy.
This statement has reignited discussions among economists and policymakers about the effects of tariffs on the economy and the appropriate stance of the Federal Reserve in the current economic landscape.
