Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested the Federal Reserve was playing politics on Wednesday, after the US central bank announced a long-awaited interest rate cut of half a percentage point.

"I guess it shows the economy is very bad to cut it by that much, assuming they're not just playing politics," Trump said in televised comments from a bitcoin bar in New York. "The economy would be very bad or they're playing politics, one or the other. But it was a big cut."
