Why would the fed cut rates?

The market can be fixed if Krasnov just dropped his tariffs. The fed cuts rates when the economy is in trouble and can’t be resolved by other means.

This is like me choking my neighbors dog and the police giving my neighbor another dog rather than just tasing me.

"Why would the fed cut rates?"

Won’t rate cuts increase inflation which will add to tariff prices. Why will Feds go to increasing inflation route

Define greater than here. Is it more better or more worse?
