After years of economic turbulence, the tide appears to be turning—and fast. March’s new inflation numbers are not only encouraging, they’re historic. The Consumer Price Index dropped to 2.4%, a figure that not only surprised forecasters but shattered expectations for the second month in a row. It marks the first actual drop in consumer prices in years, a signal that the economic gears of the Trump administration are now unmistakably in motion.
"THESE ARE DEFINITELY LOW NUMBERS": New data shows inflation eased in March, smashing expectations for the second straight month.

The White House wasted no time in celebrating the news. President Trump himself took to Truth Social, posting the succinct and symbolic message: “INFLATION IS DOWN!!!” It was more than a headline—it was a declaration.
According to the White House statement released Thursday morning, this drop isn’t a statistical fluke. It’s the result of targeted policy, and it’s affecting the everyday purchases that Americans feel most. Prescription drug prices recorded the largest monthly decline on record. That alone would be enough to draw headlines. But the ripple effect continued: airfare, used vehicle prices, car insurance, and even energy—all saw declines. Most notably, gas prices fell significantly, driving the overall 2.4% drop in energy costs.

This wasn’t just a good month for the economy—it was a landmark moment in the Trump administration’s broader economic plan. As promised, President Trump is pushing forward with an aggressive trifecta: the largest tax cuts in U.S. history, a full-throttle deregulatory agenda, and a surge in domestic manufacturing. The March inflation numbers may well be the clearest signal yet that this strategy isn’t just working—it’s accelerating.
We took note of the announcement by President Trump.
We want to give negotiations a chance.
While finalising the adoption of the EU countermeasures that saw strong support from our Member States, we will put them on hold for 90 days.
If negotiations are not satisfactory, our…

But the economic news didn’t stop at America’s borders.
On the international front, the European Union stepped into negotiations less than a day after Trump enacted a 90-day tariff pause for cooperating nations. The message is unmistakable: Trump’s economic leverage isn’t just domestic, it’s global. With inflation down and international actors stepping up to the table, the momentum of this economic realignment is hard to ignore.
