Trump Finds Tamping Down Costs to Be Tricky

“President Trump is reaching deeper into individual markets to try to ease consumer price strains,” Axios reports.

“The administration is under mounting pressure to deliver relief as affordability becomes a bigger political liability ahead of the midterms.”

“The push is cutting against — and sometimes rolling back — pillars of Trump’s economic agenda, including tariffs and favoring domestic producers. And the moves may offer limited relief, reflecting how difficult it is for presidents to broadly bring down prices.”
