NEW YORK, April 26 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Tuesday a strong dollar "will always be" in U.S. interests and that the Obama administration would not undercut the greenback to spur growth.
"Our policy has been and will always be, as long, at least, as I'm in this job, that a strong dollar is in our interests as a country. And we will never embrace a strategy of trying to weaken our currency to gain economic advantage at the expense of our trading partners," he said in response to a question after a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations.
