Trump’s problem

Reuters Econ World

About
What starts at the checkout line often ends at the ballot box. President Trump’s war in Iran is driving up the price of gasoline and groceries making inflation one of the defining issues in U.S. politics right now. With the midterms just months away, host Carmel Crimmins talks to Sally Buzbee, Reuters U.S. editor, and U.S. economics editor Dan Burns about the political and economic consequences of America’s affordability crisis.
