In a stark rebuke, U.S. President Donald Trump called for the Federal Reserve board to potentially take over control of monetary policy if Chair Jerome Powell persists in his reluctance to cut interest rates.

Trump did not mince words, referring to Powell as a 'stubborn MORON' and criticized his perceived delay in lowering interest rates.

The President's comments underscore his ongoing dissatisfaction with the Federal Reserve's current monetary policy, which he believes needs swift adjustments for economic stability.
