Trump insists inflation surge 'short term,' policies working

President Donald Trump on Tuesday insisted that his policies are working and that surging inflation is merely temporary due to the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

"Our inflation is just short-term," Trump told reporters, predicting it would fall to 1.5 percent from its current three-year high of 3.8 percent. "As soon as this war is over, which will not be long, you're going to see oil prices drop."
