US President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused the "hostile" Federal Reserve board of forcing his handpicked chairman to raise interest rates for political reasons
"He's a good man, Kevin Warsh, but no matter how good a job, he's got a hostile board," Trump told reporters.
"They're raising the rates to make Trump do as bad as they can possibly do... So they're raising that only for political reasons, and that's a raise against Trump."
