A looming deadline to make trade deals doesn't necessarily matter, President Trump said Sunday, because the U.S. will simply send letters to hundreds of countries assigning tariff rates.
Why it matters: The pause on Trump's sweeping global tariffs expires in about 10 days, with one deal and one temporary truce in hand, and the rest of the world in varying states of limbo.
President Trump on Sunday accused Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell of artificially inflating interest rates and said they should be less than half of what they are now.
Why it matters: After Trump's threats to fire Powell scared global bond markets and caused interest rates to spike, the president and his administration have turned to insults and public demands instead.
