President Trump called on the Federal Reserve board to 'assume control' if Chair Jerome Powell does not lower interest rates, escalating his ongoing feud with the central bank’s head.

The central bank this week kept interest rates steady for a fifth-straight meeting, prompting the first double dissent from members of the powerful Board of Governors since 1993.

US President Donald Trump continued his verbal attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Friday, calling the country's key central banker "a subborn MORON" in a post on his Truth Social media platform.

Os diretores do Federal Reserve Christopher Waller e Michelle Bowman expressaram preocupações de que a hesitação do banco central em reduzir as taxas de juros poderia causar danos desnecessários ao mercado de trabalho.

The two Federal Reserve governors who favored an interest rate cut at the U.S. central bank's policy meeting this week said on Friday they did so largely due to rising concerns about the job market, in statements made public just ahead of the release of hiring data that bolstered their position.
