Summary
Inflation in the U.S. rose 3% in January, with rent alone accounting for 30% of the increase.
Egg prices soared due to avian flu, worsening grocery costs.

Start? That’s what we’ve been doing for months. Our Prime Minister is just now returning from a European trip largely devoted to forming new trade deals. We’ve also been working to break down trade barriers within our country (there were a lot of difficulties in trading between provinces before, which made it easier for everyone to just trade with the US instead) and preparing targeted tariffs of our own to hit Trump and his supporters where it hurts the most.
We’re not taking this lying down and never have.
