Economy grows more than expected despite trade war concerns

Season 2025 Episode 211 | 7m 32s

The Federal Reserve announced it would keep interest rates steady, despite dissents from two members of its rate-setting committee who were appointed by President Trump. Trump has been pressuring Jerome Powell to cut rates, but the Fed chair has expressed concerns about tariffs and inflation. Geoff Bennett discussed where things stand with Nick Timiraos of The Wall Street Journal.
