At the Irish Open golf tournament held at Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, County Clare, President Donald Trump told reporters that no country should have lower interest rates than the United States. He admitted uncertainty about whether Federal Reserve policymakers will raise rates at their upcoming meeting, yet insisted the U. S. should be paying the world’s lowest rates regardless of the Fed’s decision. Trump’s comments came as the Fed prepares to set policy, and the remarks were made in a sporting setting that attracted international media attention. The statement highlights Trump’s continued focus on monetary policy and his willingness to voice opinions on economic matters even during a sporting event.
