[Harris campaign slams Trump's comments on the Fed before economic speech] Golden Finance reported that US Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign team severely criticized Donald Trump's comments on the Fed's first interest rate cut in four years and focused on economic issues before the November presidential election. Republican candidate Trump expressed his views within hours of the Fed's 50 basis point rate cut on September 19, calling it a "political move" and saying that a 25 basis point rate cut was appropriate. He has previously suggested that independent central banks should be subject to a certain degree of executive control.
