President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans have touted the project for...

In a nutshell, On Your Feet!...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated calls for easier monetary policy may not be what’s driving the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates on Wednesday. But Trump’s policies have set the table for it.
