Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell arrives to speak during a press conference following the Federal Open Markets Committee meeting at the Federal Reserve on January 28 in Washington, DC. Kevin Dietsch/Getty ImagesThroughout much of 2021, many Federal Reserve officials hesitated to raise interest rates despite consistently rising inflation. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has repeatedly acknowledged the central bank could have helped prevent the vicious chapter of inflation that ensued had it not waited so long to raise rates. Now, with the risks of higher inflation climbing due to soaring energy prices stemming from the war with Iran, Fed officials may be much more hesitant to lower rates, even as the labor market has weakened significantly over the past year. On the other hand, some analysts believe the Fed may have to cut, in order to avoid the economic slowdown that comes as a result of higher gas prices.
CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten on Tuesday said recent polling among traditional U.S. allies shows how the “chickens are coming home to roost” for Donald Trump, amid a lack of global support for his Iran war. The reason for the limited backing is “really simple,” Enten told “News Central” anchor John Berman. “The people in those countries hate, hate, hate the U.S. military action in Iran,” he noted, pointing to net approval ratings of -27 in Canada, -73 in Japan and -34 in the United Kingdom. “Key U.S. allies, the people in those countries, absolutely despise the U.S. military action in Iran,” he continued. The favorable view of the U.S. in 2025 under Trump versus 2024 under former President Joe Biden is down among 79% of residents across 24 countries surveyed, he noted.
