Powell said it was "not for me to say" whether Trump's visit was tied to his demands that the Fed cut interest rates.

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at between 4.25% and 4.5% following the most recent Federal Open Market Committee meeting Wednesday. The Fed’s decision could be felt by President Trump as a rebuke after Trump continuously called for the Fed and Chairman Jerome Powell to cut rates.

President Donald Trump continued his attacks on Federal Reserve Board of Governors chair Jerome Powell as the American central bank again rebuffed his demand for lower interest rates, keeping them steady for at least another month.
