Washington D.C., April 7, 2025: Former President Donald Trump has defended his pro-tariff stance, stating that tariffs do not cause inflation. At a campaign event, he argued that falling oil prices prove inflation is under control, and he reaffirmed tariffs as a means to protect American jobs and industries.
His remarks come amid ongoing debates over the economic impact of such trade policies. While critics warn that tariffs could raise consumer prices, Trump maintained that his approach would boost domestic manufacturing and support long-term economic growth if he returns to office.
