President Donald Trump said Thursday he is not happy with the strong US dollar, which is hurting American manufacturing, and blamed the Federal Reserve for keeping interested rates too high.

Breaking with decades of US policy, Trump said on Twitter that a weaker dollar would help US firms compete.

"As your President, one would think that I would be thrilled with our very strong dollar. I am not!"
