U.S. Federal Reserve meeting clouded by Trump politics Text:

The U.S. central bank begins its latest two-day meeting this Tuesday, Sept. 16, immersed in the kind of partisan politics it usually tries to avoid.One of Donald Trump’s top economic advisers has just joined the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, as members weigh a crucial decision: whether to cut the interest rate that has a major impact on the global economy.At the same time, the U.S. president is attempting to force out another governor, despite a court blocking his efforts.And while those moves raise questions about the Fed’s independence, the institution is under more pressure than ever to get this latest interest rate decision right.
