Coffee, fuel and houses: why Trump has an inflation problem

trump's military escalation with iran is pushing up costs on everyday goods. coffee prices are climbing because of disrupted shipping routes through the red sea. fuel prices are rising as crude oil gets more expensive. housing costs are also under pressure — mortgage rates remain elevated partly due to uncertainty around the conflict. the affordability crisis was already a central issue for american households. now the war is making it worse by hitting supply chains and energy markets directly. there's no sign of de-escalation, so these price pressures are likely to persist.
