Following the release of the US CPI data, White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai posted on social media: "President Trump has consistently stated that as shipping in the Strait of Hormuz returns to normal, oil prices and overall inflation will plummet like a stone. The June CPI report, significantly lower than expected, proves President Trump right; driven by falling energy prices, inflation saw its largest drop since April 2020. Furthermore, the president's broader economic agenda continues to yield results: prescription drug, healthcare, auto, and insurance costs have decreased, while real wages for ordinary Americans have risen."
