Following the strong jobs report, Donald Trump reiterated his stance on pushing for lower interest rates. Liz Pancotti, Vice President of Policy, Advocacy, and Research at the progressive advocacy organization Groundwork Collaborative, commented that if Trump wants to lower interest rates, he should stop the war in Iran and revoke tariffs, which would help reduce prices. Pancotti noted that high costs are even evident in reshoring manufacturing and data center construction, as materials like lumber and aluminum are affected by tariffs.
