Long-term interest rates, which reflect both current inflationnand inflarion expectations, jumped with tariffs and then again with the Iran war. This is not a debate among economists: inflation is up and it's Trump's fault.
Trump denies surging inflation is his fault even though economists widely agree his tariffs and war making are the key reasons why price pressures rose again since he returned to office.
