WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump again criticised Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday, a day after the U.S. central bank held interest rates steady in a 9-2 vote.

"Jerome “Too Late” Powell has done it again!!! He is TOO LATE," Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform. "Put another way,“Too Late” is a TOTAL LOSER, and our Country is paying the price!"
