Trump calls for 10% cap on credit-card interest rates

Borrowers in lower- and middle-income households who carry balances would benefit the most from caps on credit-card charges. They would also be the first ones banks would stop lending to if the caps were enacted, according to experts, and banks might impose fees to make up for lost revenue.
