A post from X of a post by trump that reads: "The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World.
I won't ever let that happen! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The potential impact of tariffs on inflation accelerated sharply in December. Goods prices rose 2.05% yr/yr. May not sound like much, but it's the most since the pandemic, and they were negative from June 2023 to April 25, offsetting service inflation. (Note: not all goods are subject to tariffs.)
