The White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt presented this note during a press briefing on Monday afternoon.
On the large leaf, we can see a list of 44 countries and the guiding rates in force in each of these.
The United States is 35th in this list, with a key rate of 4.50%, the same as Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guatemala, Israel, Mauritius, Norway, the Republic of Congo and Vietnam.
According to Donald Trump writes on the sheet, rates should rather be at the same level as the first countries, which have a key rate ranging from 0.25% (Switzerland) and 1.75% (Denmark, Seychelles and Thailand).
The American president also left a note written by hand, in large black pencil, and sent directly to the president of the Fed: “Jerome, you are, as usual,” too late “. You cost a fortune in the United States (and continue to do so). You should lower the rates, many! Hundreds of billions of dollars are lost. There is no inflation. “
