Fed officials see inflation risks from Trump's tariffs
Federal Reserve officials warned of inflation risks due to Trump's new trade tariffs, advising a cautious approach to interest-rate cuts.

The tariffs could disproportionately impact low-income households and lead to increased costs, making the Fed hesitant to change current rates.
