标题：Donald Trump fails to bend the Federal Reserve to his will

正文：Kevin Warsh has rebuffed Donald Trump’s demands for low borrowing costs, as the president’s pick to run the Federal Reserve led it to the first rate rise since 2023 less than four months into the job. The central bank chair on Wednesday offered the strongest evidence yet that he is prepared to disregard Trump when he corralled all 12 rate setters on the Federal Open Market Committee into backing a quarter-point rate rise. “The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long,” Warsh said, as he repeatedly told journalists that he would be “hard pressed” to describe current interest rates as so high that they would slow the economy.
