Federal Reserve Interest Rates, Reports Reveal Iran War Costs, Kennedy Center Closure
Summary
The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates for the first time in three years as the Iran war fuels inflation and pushes energy prices to record highs. New reports from the CBO and Pentagon Inspector General reveal the conflict has cost over $30 billion, causing significant damage to US bases and depleting critical weapon stockpiles. Meanwhile, the Kennedy Center board voted to shut down the historic arts complex, a decision made shortly after a judge ruled that President Trump’s name cannot be added to the building.
