[U.S. Inflation Hits 3-Year High, Trump's Remarks Spark Controversy] According to Xinhua News Agency, data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that in May, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-on-year, marking the highest level since May 2023. Rising energy costs have led to higher living expenses for Americans and placed pressure on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. President Trump stated, 'I love inflation,' expressing the belief that prices will decline after the Iran conflict ends. These remarks have sparked criticism and raised concerns among Republicans about potential impacts on the midterm congressional elections.
