Our country is booming with new investment!\u201d \u201cLower the interest rates for the United States of america, and fast!\u201d he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>Trump also linked his argument for lower rates to the US trade deficit, saying the country could make at least $1.5 trillion a year if it stopped trading with countries with which it runs a deficit. <!-- -->&#8220;If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;The word \u201cDeficit\u201d is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS.<!-- --> We are \u201ccarrying\u201d almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Trump&#8217;s call came to lower rates this time came as the Federal Open Market Committee raised its target range to 3.75 per cent-4 per cent on Wednesday, marking the first US rate hike since 2023.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The Fed said economic activity was expanding at a solid pace, with resilient domestic spending, strong productivity growth and robust capital investment. However, it said inflation remained elevated and that the rate increase would support a return to its 2% inflation goal.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Fed Chair Kevin Warsh defended the decision, saying, \u201cThe plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>\u201cWe must be confident that underlying inflation is moving to our objective clearly and at sufficient speed. <!-- -->Today the FOMC decided that this standard has not been satisfied,\u201d Warsh said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The White House had earlier criticised the rate hike as \u201cunfortunate\u201d. Senior deputy press secretary Kush Desai said higher rates would \u201cstymie the economic progress\u201d made under the Trump administration, raise mortgage costs and make it harder for businesses to expand.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/international-business\/us-federal-reserve-chair-kevin-warsh-led-fomc-hikes-interest-rate-to-3-75-4-range-first-time-since-2023\/articleshow\/134292267.cms\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;Inflation too high for too long&#8217;: US Fed hikes interest rates for first time since 2023<\/a><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>The Fed\u2019s latest projections indicate that policymakers expect one more rate increase this year, while rates are projected to remain unchanged in 2027. Officials also raised their inflation forecast for 2026 to 3.7 per cent from 3.6 per cent previously and now expect inflation to return to the 2 per cent target only in 2029. The Fed last raised its benchmark rate in July 2023, when it increased the target range to 5.25%-5.50%.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>The unemployment rate stood at 4.1 per cent
