An account statement for Trump in his first week after returning to the White House

The directions of the new US administration, in Trump’s first week after returning to the White House, reveal that his initial wave of executive orders did not include many measures that directly target prices.
This came with the exception of directing federal agencies to “seek appropriate action.”

Trump’s first week in office

In his first week, Trump seemed to focus on reducing energy costs, hoping that this would have an impact on the economy in general.
His biggest focus was on tightening immigration laws, which he described as his “number one issue” immediately after taking the constitutional oath.
Trump said: “Everyone said that inflation is the number one issue. I said: I disagree. I talked about inflation as well, but how many times can you say that the price of apples has doubled?”

Commodity prices in America

Trump is counting on voters to give him an excuse and continue to blame high prices on former President Joe Biden.
But the Republican president’s comments reflect the fact that presidents have almost no leverage to quickly reduce inflation without causing collateral damage to other sectors of the economy.

Immigration and inflation issues in America

Donald Trump said in his first television interview after the elections that his victory was due to Americans’ anger over immigration and inflation issues, especially the high cost of food.
“When you bought apples or bacon or eggs, the prices were doubling and tripling over a short period of time,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press” at the time.
He continued: “I won the elections based on this. We will work to reduce these prices significantly.”
