Trump says U.S. economy 'handcuffed' by Fed

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday called on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates by a full percentage point, saying the nation's economy was being "handcuffed" by the U.S. central bank's monetary policy.

Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, said that a strong U.S. dollar was hurting American manufacturers and that the Fed needed to lower rates.
