Senator Elizabeth Warren said inflation has reached a three-year high and blamed tariffs from President Donald Trump for contributing to rising prices across food, housing, gas and health care. In a post on X, Warren pointed to new inflation data showing continued price increases in May, stating that inflation is nearly double what it was before Trump's tariffs. Other Democrats also criticized the administration, with Governor JB Pritzker noting inflation rose to 4% and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling gas prices out of control. Representative Ted Lieu cited core PCE inflation increasing to 3.4%, its highest since October 2023. Earlier, inflation rose to 3.8% in April, its highest level since May 2023, driven by energy and shelter costs, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the tariff strategy, arguing inflation is driven more by domestic services.
