The rates the Fed does and doesn't control

Description:

In an awkward visit to the Federal Reserve building, which is under construction, President Donald Trump continued to push for lower interest rates. But even if Trump had a compliant Fed, he wouldn’t necessarily get the lower borrowing costs he wants, because the central bank doesn’t directly control the rates the president is concerned about. We'll learn more. Also, we'll provide an explainer on what tariffs on products versus countries mean for the economy.
