Trump's demand to lower interest rates significantly. The president said that the high cost of
borrowing hurts the US. economy.. but today unemployment is near an all-time low and
inflation is below the Fed's 2 percent target. Trump's trade war - particularly his on again
off-again tariffs - has dented business confidence and could push the economy into a
recession. To forestall that, he wants the Fed to lower rates. The Senate confirmed Powell to a
four-year term as chair in addition to a 14-year term as govemor. The law says that governors

Congress but from its own operations; Fed govemors have extraordinary long terms and so
