The president noted that a follow-up meeting would depend on whether he receives &#8220;the answers I want&#8221; from Putin. Trump added that if the initial meeting is successful, he would likely hold a second meeting with Putin &#8220;almost immediately&#8221; before a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders. He also suggested that he might bring up the issue of Russian hacking with Putin and that Russia would face &#8220;consequences&#8221; if the war doesn&#8217;t end.<br \/><br \/>In a separate discussion on the economy, President Trump weighed in on the Federal Reserve and interest rates. He reiterated his long-held belief that rates should be lower, stating his &#8220;paper calculation&#8221; suggests they should be at or near 1%. Without providing further detail on his reasoning, he emphasized that interest rates are &#8220;really just a paper calculation&#8221; and believes they should be &#8220;three or four points lower.&#8221; The president also mentioned that the list of nominees for the next Federal Reserve Chair has been narrowed down to a few names, and he expects to make a decision soon.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump recently shared his views on both domestic economic policy and international diplomacy, touching on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate policy.Regarding his efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, Trump indicated a second meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is possible, but &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":39528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-forex-markets","category-market-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117702"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117703,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117702\/revisions\/117703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
