The Vice President said the Fed refusing to cut interest rates was "monetary malpractice," echoing sentiment voiced by Trump in recent months.

In a social media post Wednesday morning on X, Vice President JD Vance echoed his boss's urging that the central bank ease monetary policy. The statement followed a Bureau of Labor Statistics report showing that the consumer price index increased just 0.

The criticism followed the May consumer price index release which revealed less inflation than economists expected.
