Central bank moves to set rates at range between 4 and 4.25% but decision unlikely to satisfy Donald TrumpThe US Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Wednesday, its first rate cut since December, as the central bank moved to stabilize a wobbling labor market even as Donald Trump’s tariffs continue to push up prices.Rates are now at a range of 4% to 4.25% – the lowest since November 2022.

14 h. ago It’s not all lies, lies, lies with Trump – sometimes he’s unnervingly honest | Arwa Mahdawi

As the US president comes to the UK, let’s give credit where it’s due: he wasn’t lying when he said smart people don’t like himChannel 4 will be marking Donald Trump’s visit to the UK with what it describes as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”.

It’s not just lies, lies, lies: occasionally the man can be surprisingly wise. Only this week, for example, a video circulated online of Trump telling attendees of a gala at one of ...
