On Tuesday, Kudlow argued the central bank should look at low inflation rather than the strength of the economy when deciding whether to cut rates.

"I'm not so sure that the view I've expressed on price signals or the views the president has expressed is necessarily so far from where the Fed is," he said.The central bank increased its benchmark federal funds rate seven times in 2017 and 2018 as it moved away from the near-zero levels deployed in the wake of the financial crisis. The Fed currently has a target rate in the range of 2.25% to 2.5%.
