### Inflation Fears Eased: Trump’s Tariffs Likely to Be Transitory, Says Fed Governor
In a reassuring comment for American consumers and traders alike, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller expressed optimism over the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, stating that the inflation caused by these measures is expected to be "transitory."
During a recent speech in St. Louis, Waller acknowledged that while the previous surge in inflation from 2021 surprised many, he believes the scenario is different this time around.
Waller argued that the economic landscape has changed significantly since the Fed's earlier predictions regarding inflation.
“I can hear the howls already that this must be a mistake given what happened in 2021 and 2022. But just because it didn't work out once does not mean you should never think that way again,” he said, making a compelling case for a willingness to embrace tariff strategies once more.
The Fed Governor outlined two scenarios regarding how tariffs could impact inflation: one involving lasting high tariffs that would initially spike inflation to 4% to 5%, then gradually decline, and another with smaller duties that would see inflation peak around 3%.
In both cases, he anticipated potential interest rate cuts, depending on the outcomes.
Waller, whose position reflects the long-term vision of Trump’s economic policy, used a sports analogy to convey his perspective.
He likened the evolving economic situation to a Philadelphia Eagles football play known as the "tush push," emphasizing that failure in the past does not warrant abandoning effective strategies for the future.
Trump’s tariffs are seen not just as simple trade tools but as strategic instruments for restructuring the American economy by creating a more favorable balance against foreign competition.
Waller identified two potential goals behind the administration’s tariff policies: to either maintain high tariffs and reshape the economy fundamentally or use them as a negotiation tool.
With inflation concerns gradually easing according to Waller’s assessment, the outlook for American families might brighten, offering a glimpse into a more robust economic future under Trump's leadership.
Tariffs, far from being just a wedge issue, could indeed become a cornerstone of a more prosperous America, demonstrating once again that President Trump's fiscal policies command attention and, increasingly, support across the economic spectrum.
