Trump vs. Fed: Political Pressure Could Keep Dollar Under Pressure
President Trump’s criticism of the Fed, particularly over high interest rates, has intensified political scrutiny on the central bank. Efforts to remove Governor Lisa Cook and calls for aggressive rate cuts highlight the tension.
Market analysts suggest this pressure may leave the Fed reluctant to move quickly, prolonging elevated rates and creating a volatile environment for the U.S. dollar. In contrast, assets like bitcoin have rallied, gaining 24% this year as investors seek alternatives amid policy uncertainty.
