WASHINGTON — President Trump, angered by Beijing’s decision on Friday to retaliate against his next round of tariffs and furious at his Federal Reserve chair for not doing more to juice the economy, demanded that American companies stop doing business with China and warned of additional retaliation. In a series of angry Twitter posts, Mr. Trump called for American companies to cut ties with Beijing and said the United States would be economically stronger without China. The president also called the Fed chair, Jerome H. Powell, an “enemy” of the United States and compared him to President Xi Jinping of China, his trade nemesis, after Mr. Powell declined to signal an imminent cut in interest rates. “My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?” the president tweeted.
