● Market Crash, Recession Fears, Trump-Powell Clash
Analysis of US Economic Policy Conflicts After the Tariff War
[1] Trump’s Demand for Interest Rate Cuts – Initial Signals and Strategies
Trump strongly demanded interest rate cuts at the Davos Forum after taking office.
At the time, Trump warned of the risk of the US economy falling into recession and argued that interest rate cuts were urgently needed.
He showed his intention to respond to the tariff war by delivering the message “Lower interest rates” through public channels such as SNS.
In this process, concerns about the impact of the tariff war on the global economy and international trade also emerged.
[2] Chairman Powell’s Response – Data-Driven Decisions
Jerome Powell, Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, confronted Trump’s demand for interest rate cuts at the Virginia Conference on the 4th.
He mentioned the higher-than-expected tariff rates and the resulting economic slowdown, inflation, and the possibility of stagflation.
Chairman Powell made it clear that he would not succumb to political pressure, saying, “We make monetary policy decisions based on data.”
In this process, a strategy of pursuing long-term sustainability through price stability rather than the existing interest rate cut policy emerged.
[3] Economic Slowdown and Stagflation – Aftermath of the Tariff War
The tariff war is putting pressure on the economies of the United States and the world.
Within the United States, the possibility of reduced imports and exports, production and supply chain bottlenecks due to mutual tariffs is increasing.
At the same time, the limitations of traditional interest rate policies are revealed as high inflation and low growth proceed simultaneously.
In particular, in a stagflation situation, the central bank faces a dilemma of having to simultaneously choose between raising interest rates to prevent inflation and lowering interest rates to boost the economy.
[4] Trump’s Strategy and Powell’s Neutrality – Future Economic Outlook
Trump is pursuing a strategy of quickly catching inflation and seeking political advantages such as the midterm elections through interest rate cuts.
However, Chairman Powell maintains an independent monetary policy stance, taking into account short-term data distortions and the possibility of economic slowdown due to the tariff war.
In the end, Trump is trying to create an environment for interest rate cuts after stabilizing prices, but Powell is maintaining his position to postpone interest rate cuts amid instability in the overall economy and a global economic slowdown.
In this process, major economic variables such as “tariff war,” “interest rate cut,” “economic slowdown,” “inflation,” and “international trade” are intertwined, foreshadowing instability in the global financial market.
Conclusion and Future Outlook
Ultimately, US monetary policy decisions are expected to be made based on economic data and global economic trends, beyond immediate political debates.
Supply chain problems and international trade disruptions caused by the tariff war may cause a short-term economic slowdown, but from a long-term perspective, there is a possibility of a transition to price stability and balanced growth.
Although Trump and Powell are in conflict, the stability of the US economy will ultimately be determined by data and market reactions, and the global economic outlook is expected to closely reflect this.
The US Trump administration emphasized concerns about an economic recession by urging interest rate cuts in the wake of the tariff war.
On the other hand, Fed Chairman Powell maintained an independent monetary policy based on the stronger-than-expected tariff imposition and the resulting inflation and stagflation risks.
This conflict directly and indirectly affects major economic variables such as international trade, financial markets, and economic slowdown, and is expected to be an important variable in the future economic outlook for the United States and the world.
