最新报道:Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned that former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs could exacerbate inflation, countering Trump's claims that tariffs would protect American industries. Speaking at a recent economic forum, Powell emphasized that tariffs typically lead to higher consumer prices and supply chain disruptions, potentially undermining the Fed's efforts to stabilize inflation. Trump has advocated for a 10% across-the-board tariff on imports, arguing it would boost domestic manufacturing. However, economists, including Powell, caution that such measures could trigger retaliatory trade policies, further straining global markets. The Fed remains focused on balancing inflation control with economic growth, as policymakers weigh the risks of protectionist trade measures.
