On Friday, August 22, President Donald Trump delivered remarks at the White House following a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
The President’s comments were a continuation of his push for the Fed to lower interest rates.
In his remarks, he also addressed the ongoing federal law enforcement crackdown in Washington, D.C., and spoke with members of law enforcement and National Guard troops deployed to the city.
The President’s focus on these issues is part of his broader emphasis on a tough-on-crime and strong-on-borders platform.
