The Consumer Price Index report for April shows inflation increased 0.2 percent across all sectors, a less severe rise than many economists anticipated. CEI senior economist Ryan Young says Trump’s tariff drawbacks were a factor in preventing costs from rising faster. “April’s CPI reading was gentler than expected. April 2 was President Trump’s Liberation Day tariff announcement. Fortunately, the full brunt of those tariff increases never came into effect.

President Trump proposed a 100 percent tariff on foreign movies, and reopening Alcatraz. The US and UK announced a trade deal. The Vatican named a new Pope. Agencies issued new regulations ranging from workplace discrimination to pilot schools. On to the data: • Agencies issued 47 final regulations last week, after 28 the previous week. • That’s the equivalent of a new regulation every three hours and 34 minutes.

The Trump administration and the Chinese government announced a 90-day tariff reduction. While this is good news, it deserves context. The risk of recession is still real. The economy already shrank last quarter. That was before the Liberation Day tariffs were announced on April 2, at the beginning of this quarter. That quarter is already almost halfway over, and it has proceeded under crippling Great Depression-era tariff rates, both against China and nearly every other country.

CEI trade policy expert Ryan Young points to one breakthrough in the midst of a few bigger, persistent missed opportunities:“A US-UK trade agreement has been in the works since the first Trump administration. Unfortunately, today’s agreement will almost certainly leave in place Trump’s 10 percent Liberation Day tariff against nearly all British products, which is barely a month old.
