Amid Trump's tariff war, the fall in crude oil prices is not stopping. Brent crude fell 4 percent on Monday to below $64 per barrel. This is the lowest level since April 2021. There is tremendous turmoil in the global market after Trump's reciprocal tariff. Meanwhile, Trump has claimed that oil prices have come down. There is no inflation. At the same time, Trump has justified the tariff. It is worth noting that experts have warned of a high risk of recession.
What did Trump say about inflation?
"Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (slow-moving Fed must cut rates!), food prices are down, there is no inflation, and the long abused US is making billions of dollars a week from countries abusing tariffs already in place," Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump targeted China
He has called China the "biggest abuser" in terms of tariffs. Trump further wrote, "China's markets are constantly falling. Despite this, it has increased its tariffs by 34 percent, which is ridiculous. China has taken advantage of America for decades. Targeting the Democratic Party, he said that the old leaders should be blamed for this. Let us tell you that he has targeted former US President Joe Biden without naming him. Trump finally said that we should make America great again.
