特朗普在比特币下降时烤杰罗姆·鲍威尔

另一个通货膨胀指标，生产商价格指数（PPI）低于预期

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell if he continues to refuse to cut interest rates despite multiple economic indicators surprisingly showing cooling inflation.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）周四威胁要解雇美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔（Jerome Powell），如果他继续拒绝降低利率，尽管多个经济指标令人惊讶地显示出冷却通货膨胀。

The president’s remarks come as the administration's handling of the economy are set to be a central theme in the upcoming election. Trump said that he's "not happy" with Powell's actions, especially since he feels it could ultimately cost the country billions of dollars.

总统的言论是因为政府对经济的处理将成为即将举行的选举中的核心主题。特朗普说，他对鲍威尔的行为“不满意”，尤其是因为他认为这最终可能损失了该国数十亿美元的损失。

“We’re going to spend $600 billion a year because of one numbskull,” Trump said at the White House, where he signed a bill terminating California's electric vehicle mandate.

特朗普在白宫签署了一项终止加利福尼亚电动汽车授权的法案，“我们将每年花费6000亿美元，因为一个麻木。”

The good news failed to lift bitcoin's price which languished at roughly $108K, as Trump used the data as ammunition against Powell, who has been the target of the president's ire for some time now. Trump previously threatened to fire Powell for not cutting rates, something many say would be unconstitutional. The Fed will reconvene on June 17 and 18 for its scheduled meeting to determine the direction of the country's interest rates.

这个好消息未能提高比特币的价格，而比特币的价格约为108,000美元，因为特朗普将数据用作对鲍威尔的弹药，后者一直是总统IRE的目标。特朗普此前威胁要解雇鲍威尔没有降低费率，许多人说这违宪。美联储将于6月17日至18日重新召开其预定会议，以确定该国利率的方向。

“We have inflation totally under control,” Trump said. “If we cut our interest by one point…we save $300 billion," he added, referencing how much the federal government would save in interest payments on its outstanding debt if rates were lower. "If we cut it by two points we save… $600 billion.”

特朗普说：“我们完全控制了通货膨胀。”他补充说：“如果我们将利息降低了一分……我们节省了3000亿美元。” “如果我们将其削减两分，我们可以节省……6000亿美元。”

The president's comments come as the administration is facing criticism for its handling of the economy. Trump has said that he is optimistic about the economy's prospects, but that he is concerned about the Fed's actions.

总统的评论是因为政府因其处理经济而面临批评。特朗普曾表示，他对经济的前景很乐观，但他担心美联储的行动。

"I think the economy is doing very well," Trump said earlier this week. "We have low unemployment, we have great jobs numbers, we have a booming stock market. The only problem is the Fed."

特朗普本周早些时候说：“我认为经济状况良好。” “我们的失业率很低，我们的工作数量很高，我们的股票市场蓬勃发展。唯一的问题是美联储。”

Trump has repeatedly called on the Fed to cut interest rates by "at least one" percentage point at its next meeting later this month. The Fed has already cut rates twice this year, but Trump feels it's not enough.

特朗普在本月晚些时候的下一次会议上曾多次呼吁美联储将利率降低“至少一个”百分点。美联储今年已经降低了两次，但特朗普认为这还不够。

"The Fed is the only factor that can harm this economic boom," Trump wrote in a tweet on Wednesday. "Everyone else is aligned perfectly, aside from the fact that we are paying too much interest on our debt due to the Fed's policies."

特朗普在周三的一条推文中写道：“美联储是唯一可能损害这种经济繁荣的因素。” “除了由于美联储的政策，我们对债务支付过多的债务，其他所有人都完全保持一致。”

The administration is also facing pressure to provide more aid to farmers who are struggling with low commodity prices and trade tensions with China. Trump said that he is working on a plan to provide additional assistance to farmers.

政府还面临着为在与中国苦苦挣扎的农民方面提供更多援助的压力。特朗普说，他正在制定一项计划，向农民提供额外的帮助。

"I'm going to be doing something very big and very substantial for our farmers," Trump said. "They've been hit very hard by China, and they've been hit very hard by the administration's policies."

特朗普说：“我将为我们的农民做一些非常大的事情。” “他们受到了中国的严厉打击，政府的政策受到了极大的打击。”

The administration is also planning to impose tariffs on another $325 billion in Chinese goods beginning in August, which may further complicate trade relations between the two superpowers.

政府还计划从8月开始对中国商品征收征收关税，这可能会使两个超级大国之间的贸易关系变得更加复杂。
