Vice President J.D. Vance said the Federal Reserve should lower interest rates, with his remarks coming less than two weeks before the Federal Open Market Committee's scheduled meeting to decide on rate adjustments. Vance did not specify what rate reduction he believed would be appropriate. The FOMC is scheduled to meet in early 2026 to review monetary policy.
