The Trump economy: isolationism vs inflation

Good morning and welcome to White House Watch! I'm Steff Chávez, the FT's Washington reporter. Today let’s get into:

  • Isolationism vs inflation
  • Robert F Kennedy Jr’s last-ditch effort
  • Mass deportations

Fighting inflation is quickly falling down the list of President Donald Trump’s priorities as he pursues his isolationist policies at a clip.

Voters consistently ranked economic issues including the cost of living as the most important issue in deciding their choice for president, according to the FT-Michigan Ross poll. But those voters are set to be disappointed, economists have warned, as Trump pursues aggressive tariffs.

“The policies he’s pursuing have a high risk of inflation,” Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics think-tank, told the FT’s Claire Jones. Instead, attacking US trade partners is “a higher priority than the purchasing power of the working class”.?. . . Register for the FT to keep reading the newsletter for free.
