Trump welcomes "great" jobs numbers, says US should pay less to borrow

U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed figures that showed better- than-expected job growth in January on Wednesday and pressed his view that the U.S. should pay much less in borrowing costs.

"The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!)," Trump said in a Truth Social post. "We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far."
