Student loans are trending — and this breaking news could hit your wallet.

In this short, we break down what Trump’s fight with the Fed means for borrowers, why rates staying high could keep federal student loan interest at 6.39%-8.94%, and what it means for the 42+ million Americans carrying $1.8 trillion in debt.
