Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, where host Kristen Welker questioned him about rising prices. The interview took place 636 days into President Donald Trump’s current term. Welker focused on the most recent inflation report and what it means for the administration’s handling of the economy.
She brought up the latest figures right away. Welker said consumer prices rose in September at the fastest pace in five months and reached 3.7 percent. She then asked Bessent whether the president’s policies are driving the increase.
