What happened

Well supportedReported by 26 independent outlets

President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. economy could grow at rates of 14%, 15%, 16%, or 20%. He argued that this high growth should not prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. These comments were made while inflation remained above the Fed's 2% target. The Fed had held its benchmark rate steady at 3.5% to 3.75% in July, with three policymakers dissenting in favor of a quarter-point hike.
