GEOPOLITICS | Trump Adviser Defends Criticism of Federal Reserve Tariff Research

A senior economic adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump has defended the White House's criticism of recent Federal Reserve research on tariffs. Bloomberg posted on X, stating that the adviser dismissed claims that the criticism was an attack on the central bank's independence. The research in question analyzed the impact of tariffs on the economy, which has been a contentious issue amid ongoing trade tensions. The adviser emphasized that the administration's comments were aimed at addressing specific findings rather than undermining the Federal Reserve's autonomy. This development comes as the administration continues to navigate complex economic challenges and trade negotiations.
