President-elect Trump is reevaluating his prior campaign promises, which included rapidly reducing costs and ending the Ukraine war.
In a recent interview, he mentioned that tariffs could lead to higher consumer prices, contradicting his previous stance.
Trump recognized the difficulty of reducing the cost of groceries that have already risen, stating "it's hard to bring things down once they're up."
Critics, including Democrats, argue that Trump is lowering expectations before taking office, while his allies assert he is adapting to the realities of governance.
Trump has continued to commit to economic improvements and suggests strategies like enhancing energy supply to combat inflation.
