特朗普此次访问正值美国经济面临压力之际。根据美国商务部数据，2025年第一季度美国国内生产总值环比按年率计算萎缩0.3%，这 是近三年来首次出现萎缩。 消费支出增速从去年第四季度的4%大幅下滑至1.8%，企业投资虽然增长9.8%，但难以抵消进口激增和政府支出减少带来的拖累。 特朗普认为，将基准利率从当前的4.25%至4.50%下调至1%，可以为美国节省一万多亿美元的借贷成本，从而刺激经济增长。 鲍威尔多次强调，美联储的决策基于经济数据而非政治压力。他在访问中反驳特朗普关于翻修成本超支的指控，指出对方混淆了不同 项目的预算。这种针锋相对的场面，凸显了白宫与美联储之间的紧张关系。 值得注意的是，特朗普此次访问打破了美国总统不干预美联储独立性的传统。自1913年成立以来，美联储一直被视为独立于政治的机 构，其主席的任期与总统错开，以确保货币政策不受短期政治影响。 据央广网消息，美国总统特朗普日前造访美联储总部，这是近20年来美国总统首次正式访问该机构。 此次行程中，特朗普与美联储主席鲍威尔就利率政策和建筑翻修成本问题展开交锋，鲍威尔在现场多次面无表情直摇头，引发外界对 美联储独立性的关注。 特朗普（资料图） 不过， ...
