On Tuesday, he seemed surprisingly blasé about the possibility that incoming chair Kevin Warsh might end up raising them. Driving the news: A reporter on Tuesday noted that markets now think an interest rate hike this year is more likely than a cut and asked the president whether he thinks Warsh will deliver the lower rates that Trump has long demanded. - "I'm going to let him do what he wants to do," Trump said.
