On April 18 local time, US President Trump delivered a speech at the White House, reiterating that Federal Reserve Chairperson Powell should lower interest rates. He also said that the United States is very likely to reach an agreement with Ukraine. Federal Reserve Chairperson Powell made it clear in his speech at the Economic Club of Chicago that he would not take emergency rescue measures due to market fluctuations. Powell's statement immediately attracted strong criticism from US President Trump. On the 17th, Trump again pressured Powell, saying that he could immediately let Powell go and ask the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates immediately.
