President Trump says he 'loves the inflation' amid rising prices during Iran war.
President Trump dismissed concerns about the latest inflation report on June 10, 2026, stating 'I love the inflation' in response to reporter questions. Consumer prices rose at their fastest pace in three years, surpassing 4%, driven in part by the war in Iran affecting global energy supply. Trump predicted prices would fall once the war ends.
