Trump said that the nominee for Federal Reserve Chairman, Kevin Warsh, would lower interest rates without the need for pressure. Trump said that Warsh did not promise him to lower interest rates, but he "certainly wants to cut interest rates." "I have been paying attention to him for a long time," Trump said. When asked if he had discussed this with Warsh, Trump said he wanted to "keep things beautiful and pure."
