A recent Economist\/YouGov poll reveals that 59% of American citizens believe prices will be higher in the next 12 months compared to current levels. Only 15% said prices would remain mostly unchanged, highlighting widespread concerns about the economic situation.<\/p>\n
This comes as Donald Trump, who assumed the presidency promising economic improvement and inflation control, now faces serious questions about public satisfaction with his economic performance due to renewed price increases.<\/p>\n
According to data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce last week, annual inflation rose to 3.5% in March, up from 2.8% in February. Reports indicate that amidst escalating tensions and conflicts between the U.S. and Iran, the pace of price increases has accelerated.<\/p>\n
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route, has also impacted energy markets. In California, the average price per gallon of gasoline has reached $6.13, while in Washington and Oregon, prices have surpassed $5 per gallon.<\/p>\n
Critics within the U.S. argue that entering into conflict with Iran has cost taxpayers billions of dollars for a discretionary war and, by disrupting energy supply routes, has further intensified economic pressure on residents. According to reports, the majority of respondents in recent polls have described the conflict with Iran as “a mistake.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
