What this person said on the record, as reported, newest first.
U.S. national debt exceeded $40 trillion during Donald Trump’s second term. Rising federal spending and higher bond yields have increased the cost of servicing the debt.

Donald Trump returned to the White House promising to put US finances in order by shrinking the federal government, ending costly “forever wars” and driving economic growth to curb widening deficits. Instead, national debt has surpassed $40 trillion as borrowing costs climb.

Two embattled Trump administration officials faced criticism on Tuesday as the war in the Middle East flared up again. The contrasting signals frame a debate between pushing harder for economic growth and watching for reasons to slow policy down.

Trump argued that rapid U.S. economic growth should not lead the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, even as inflation remains above the central bank’s 2% target. He said growth could reach 20%, a level seen only once since World War II.

President Donald Trump minimized how often he speaks with Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh and how long those conversations last. His comments have prompted renewed questions about whether he is trying to influence the central bank directly. The scrutiny centers on the president’s contact with the Fed chair and what it may imply for the institution’s independence.
BBloomberg News
President Donald Trump again said he favors lower interest rates. He also acknowledged that the decision does not rest solely with the central bank chief. Trump’s comments were notably softer than the sharp attacks he had directed at Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh’s predecessor. The remarks suggest continued pressure for easier monetary policy, while recognizing that the rate-setting authority is not controlled by one person alone.

Donald Trump is said to call Federal Reserve Chair Warsh from time to time. The report identifies the contact as periodic. It gives no details about what the calls concern or how often they take place.
