Back From Leave, Leavitt Touts Economy, Trump Accounts and Border
Leavitt said inflation fell 0.4% in June and promoted Trump accounts that give children born from 2025 to 2029 a $1,000 federal seed.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt returned from maternity leave on Thursday, reporting a 0.4% drop in the Consumer Price Index for June while promoting federal $1,000 seed contributions for new government-backed Trump accounts for children.
- Leavitt highlighted that real weekly wages for private sector workers have increased by roughly $1,000 since President Trump took office, after falling nearly $3,000 during the previous administration.
- The administration explained that Trump accounts are available for any child under 18, with children born between 2025 and 2029 eligible for a $1,000 seed contribution; relatives, friends, and employers may also contribute to these funds.
- Senior Director of Economic Research Peter Earle called the real wage uptick "unquestionably positive," while economist Gbenga Ajilore attributed the lower June inflation specifically to reduced energy prices stemming from the recent ceasefire.
- Analysts warn the United States will likely wrestle with inflation until the conflict in Iran ends, noting prices have generally risen over the past year due to Middle East conflict and tariffs despite the recent monthly decline.
