Trump said he thought the next Fed chair should consult with him on rates.
“Typically, that’s not done anymore. It used to be done routinely. It should be done,” Trump said. “It doesn’t mean—I don’t think he should do exactly what we say. But certainly we’re—I’m a smart voice and should be listened to.”
Trump also said he thinks rates should be at 1% or lower.
Because the U.S. is the best credit, "we should have the lowest rate in the world," Trump said.
