Speaking aboard Air Force One, the U.S. President said rate policy remains with the Federal Reserve chair and also flagged Iran, oil-price options and upcoming AI company meetings.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he wants interest rates lowered but left any decision on whether to cut at the October meeting to Federal Reserve Chair Walsh. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump also said the United States had achieved major success on Iran, that the government has multiple options on oil prices, and that he plans to meet AI companies at the White House next week. The comments span monetary policy, geopolitics, energy and technology, areas closely watched by markets because shifts in rates, oil and AI policy can quickly influence investor sentiment.
