<p>美國總統 <strong>唐納德·特朗普</strong> 和美聯儲主席 <strong>傑羅姆·鮑威爾</strong> 週四就美聯儲總部的裝修費用激增發生了公開分歧。</p>
<p>特朗普在增加對鮑威爾降低利率的公開壓力的同時，也逐漸放棄了他之前在鮑威爾任期結束前解僱其的言論，這次罕見的訪問發生在美聯儲之際。</p>
<h2><strong>裝修爭議</strong></h2>
<p>在他們的聯合露面中，特朗普質疑位於華盛頓特區的兩座歷史悠久的美聯儲建築的持續裝修費用，聲稱費用已超過 31 億美元，依據 CNBC 的報道。</p>
<p>鮑威爾反駁稱，特朗普將五年前建造的第三座政府建築的費用也計算在內。</p>
<p>兩人一起戴着安全帽參觀了現場，並告訴媒體他們將進一步審查情況。</p>
<p>特朗普評論道：“還有很長的路要走。”</p>
<h2><strong>政治背景</strong></h2>
<p>特朗普曾考慮解僱鮑威爾，這將是一個有爭議且法律上不確定的舉動，但他在週四表示：“這樣做是一個重大舉動，我認為沒有必要。”</p>
<p>鮑威爾一直是特朗普及其盟友的頻繁攻擊目標，包括聯邦住房金融局局長比爾·普爾特，他在訪問期間呼籲鮑威爾辭職。</p>
<h2><strong>利率壓力</strong></h2>
<p>特朗普的主要批評仍然集中在鮑威爾拒絕進一步降低利率上。儘管特朗普在 2017 年提名了鮑威爾，但他指責美聯儲主席無能和政治偏見。</p>
<p>特朗普聲稱，降低利率將為國家節省數千億美元的利息支付。儘管美聯儲在 2024 年底將其主要利率下調了一個百分點，降至 4.25%-4.5% 的區間，但自去年 12 月以來一直保持不變。</p>
<h2><strong>特朗普訪問後的言論</strong></h2>
<p>特朗普在稍後的講話中採取了更為和解的語氣，稱與鮑威爾的參觀是 “偉大的榮譽”，並承認裝修 “還有很長的路要走”。</p>
<p>“如果從未開始，那就會更好，但事情就是這樣，希望能儘快完成，” 他承認道。</p>
<p>不過，特朗普強調了高昂的費用，但表示美國在財務上足夠強大以應對這些費用。</p>

<p>特朗普總統與美聯儲主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾就美聯儲總部 31 億美元的翻修費用公開發生了衝突。特朗普批評了這些開支，而鮑威爾則澄清稱特朗普將之前建築的費用也算在內。儘管早前曾威脅解僱鮑威爾，特朗普表示這並不必要。這場爭論突顯了特朗普對鮑威爾施加的持續壓力，要求他降低利率，特朗普認為這將為國家節省資金。在訪問結束後，特朗普採取了更為和解的語氣，承認了翻修的挑戰，但對美國經濟應對這些費用的能力表示信心</p>

<p>President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Federal Reserve Chairman <strong>Jerome Powell</strong> had a public disagreement over the escalating price tag for renovation work at the Federal Reserve's headquarters on Thursday.</p>

</div><p>The rare visit to the Fed occurred as Trump increased his public pressure on Powell to decrease interest rates, while also backing away from his earlier talk of dismissing Powell before his term ends next May.</p>

</div><h2><strong>Renovation Dispute</strong></h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2><strong>裝修爭議</strong></h2>
</div><p>During their joint appearance, Trump questioned the costs of ongoing renovations for two historic Fed buildings in Washington, D.C., claiming expenses had exceeded $3.1 billion, according to CNBC.</p>

</div><p>Powell countered, noting Trump had factored in costs from a third government building that was constructed five years prior.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>鮑威爾反駁稱，特朗普將五年前建造的第三座政府建築的費用也計算在內。</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>特朗普評論道：“還有很長的路要走。”</p>
</div><h2><strong>Political Context</strong></h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2><strong>政治背景</strong></h2>
</div><p>Trump had considered firing Powell, which would have been a controversial and legally uncertain move, but stated on Thursday, “To do that is a big move, and I just don’t think it’s necessary.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>特朗普曾考慮解僱鮑威爾，這將是一個有爭議且法律上不確定的舉動，但他在週四表示：“這樣做是一個重大舉動，我認為沒有必要。”</p>
</div><p>Powell has been a frequent target of criticism from Trump and his allies, including Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who was present for the visit and has called for Powell's resignation.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>鮑威爾一直是特朗普及其盟友的頻繁攻擊目標，包括聯邦住房金融局局長比爾·普爾特，他在訪問期間呼籲鮑威爾辭職。</p>
</div><h2><strong>Interest Rate Pressure</strong></h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2><strong>利率壓力</strong></h2>
</div><p>Trump's main criticism continues to center on Powell's refusal to lower interest rates further. Despite Trump nominating Powell in 2017, he has accused the Fed chair of incompetence and political bias.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>特朗普的主要批評仍然集中在鮑威爾拒絕進一步降低利率上。儘管特朗普在 2017 年提名了鮑威爾，但他指責美聯儲主席無能和政治偏見。</p>
</div><p>Trump claims that lower rates would save the country hundreds of billions in interest payments. While the Fed did cut its primary interest rate by a full percentage point in late 2024, taking it to a 4.25%-4.5% range, it has left rates unchanged since December.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>特朗普聲稱，降低利率將為國家節省數千億美元的利息支付。儘管美聯儲在 2024 年底將其主要利率下調了一個百分點，降至 4.25%-4.5% 的區間，但自去年 12 月以來一直保持不變。</p>
</div><h2><strong>Trump's Remarks After the Visit</strong></h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2><strong>特朗普訪問後的言論</strong></h2>
</div><p>Trump adopted a more conciliatory tone later, describing his tour with Powell as a &#34;Great Honor&#34; and acknowledging that the renovation &#34;has a long way to go.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>特朗普在稍後的講話中採取了更為和解的語氣，稱與鮑威爾的參觀是 “偉大的榮譽”，並承認裝修 “還有很長的路要走”。</p>
</div><p>&#34;It would have been much better if it were never started, but it is what it is and, hopefully, it will be finished ASAP,” he conceded.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“如果從未開始，那就會更好，但事情就是這樣，希望能儘快完成，” 他承認道。</p>
</div><p>Trump did, however, underscore the high costs, but said the U.S. is strong enough financially to handle them.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>不過，特朗普強調了高昂的費用，但表示美國在財務上足夠強大以應對這些費用。</p>
