US President Trump stated that US interest rates should be lowered to 1% or even lower, given the US's top-tier global credit rating and significant advantages. He added that substantial new investment is currently driving the robust growth of the US economy. He also mentioned that if the US stopped trading with all countries with trade deficits—countries representing a large portion of the global economy—it could generate at least an additional $1.5 trillion in revenue annually. A "trade deficit," simply put, means losing money. Currently, the US is practically supporting the entire world, and this situation cannot continue; the US must push for interest rate cuts as soon as possible.
