WASHINGTON, D.C.: Federal Reserve (Fed) officials emphasized their "strong commitment and determination" to bring inflation in the United States under control, including with more big interest rate increases, according to the minutes of their latest policy meeting released on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila).
