Briefings

Donald Trump's second term has seen a significant rise in US inflation despite his campaign promises to reduce prices. His policies, including war against Iran and broad tariffs, have increased costs for hundreds of goods like citrus, steel, and auto parts. A Fox News poll indicates 77% of Americans now disapprove of his tariff handling, with lower courts already ruling some of his tariffs unlawful.
