Inflation was a driving force behind Donald Trump’s election, but he’s put the issue on the back burner during his first week in office.

Trump will probably seek to ease inflation and lower prices by drilling for more oil, loosening regulations, reducing federal spending, experts say.

President Donald Trump wasted no time criticizing the Federal Reserve after it held interest rates steady Wednesday, posting a message to his social media platform Wednesday afternoon arguing Fed chair Jerome Powell and the central bank "failed to stop the problem they created" on inflation.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said President Trump is addressing everything “but inflation and prices” in his first week in office. Beshear joined CNN on Tuesday, where he weighed in on Trump’s mass deportation plan and arrests of migrants taking place in various communities across the country.
