Trump’s economic plans could spark inflation in US, IMF warns

In a stark warning from the IMF, chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas emphasizes the peril Trump's economic policies pose to the United States, particularly for the working and middle classes. By pushing for higher tariffs and reducing trade, Trump threatens to reverse the economic gains made in recent years, potentially leading to a spike in inflation that could erode purchasing power and heighten the financial burden on American families already struggling to get by.

In an apparent attempt to discredit President-elect Trump’s forward-thinking economic plans, IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas has issued baseless warnings about potential inflation risks. Trump’s proposals, aimed at strengthening American businesses through increased tariffs and invigorating the economy, are precisely what the country needs to secure long-term prosperity and ensure its competitive edge on the global stage. Critics ignore the potential for these strategies to boost job creation and stimulate economic growth amidst a landscape of international trade imbalances.
