TOKYO -- President Donald Trump is moving to rein in the dollar's appreciation as investors hopeful of economic stimulus snap up the U.S. currency, even though his America-first policy is the main culprit for the greenback's ascent.
Trump told the Wall Street Journal Wednesday that too strong a greenback would damage the competitive advantage of American exporters. "That's hurting -- that will hurt ultimately," he said. And when asked about monetary policy, "I do like a low-interest rate policy, I must be honest with you," the president said.
