Trump Backtracks on Key Campaign Promises Around Prices and Foreign Policy

President-elect Trump concedes challenges in lowering consumer costs and signals potential military action against Iran, reversing earlier pledges.

Donald Trump, who campaigned on promises to cut inflation and lower grocery prices, now admits he may not be able to deliver on these pledges.
In a Time magazine interview, Trump described lowering prices as 'very hard,' a stark contrast to his campaign rhetoric of rapid cost reductions.
Trump's proposed tariffs, initially framed as a solution to economic issues, could lead to higher consumer costs, based on his comments and past outcomes.
The President-elect has also softened his stance on avoiding international conflicts, suggesting military action against Iran remains a possibility.
Trump's administration is preparing aggressive immigration policies, including expanded deportations and the use of military resources at the border.
