What happened
Rep. Buddy Carter, a Republican from Georgia, discussed the issue of rising prices on CNN News Central. He stated that tariffs are a contributing factor to the problem, but also pointed to the price of petroleum and gas as a significant factor. Carter noted that the conflict in Iran, which the President is trying to resolve, has had an impact on prices, including groceries and other products that rely on petroleum.
Carter's comments came in response to a question about the impact of President Trump's tariffs on the economy. He acknowledged that tariffs are part of the issue, but emphasized that other factors, such as the price of gas and the conflict in Iran, are also playing a role. Carter expressed optimism that prices will decrease once the issue in Iran is resolved.
