Well supportedReported by 12 independent outlets

The Federal Reserve announced a unanimous decision to hike interest rates by 0.25 percent, marking the first increase since 2023. The target range was set at 3.75-4 percent, with the FOMC stating that inflation remains elevated. President Donald Trump publicly disagreed with the hike, demanding the Fed lower rates instead, arguing that the U.S. should be at 1% or less due to its strong economic standing.
