What happened

The Federal Reserve has resisted Trump's pressure, maintaining that its policies are independent of political influence. The Fed's interest rate policy affects borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, influencing economic growth and inflation.

The U.S. economy has shown signs of slowing growth, with recent data indicating a decline in manufacturing activity and consumer confidence. The next Federal Open Market Committee meeting is scheduled for September 18-19.

The Fed is expected to announce its decision on interest rates following the meeting. The outcome will be closely watched by financial markets and could impact Trump's re-election campaign.
