Inflation eased in June, but U.S. still faces high prices

Season 2026 Episode 144 | 5m 30s

A report shows inflation eased more than expected in June. It's welcome news for President Trump, who has made lowering prices a focus of his economic agenda. But months of higher-than-expected inflation have continued to squeeze many households and raised questions about when consumers will feel relief. Liz Landers reports on the political pressure the president faces over the cost of living.
