JD Vance admits it’s ‘going to take time’ to lower grocery prices in tense interview moment

Trump has repeatedly promised to lower inflation as soon as he takes office – but none of his executive orders directly tackled that. Vice President JD Vance conceded that lowering consumer prices will likely “take a little bit of time” while boasting about President Donald Trump’s accomplishments in his first week in office during a tense interview with Face the Nation host Margaret Brennen over the weekend.
Trump and Vance have only been in office seven days and yet the president has signed approximately 33 executive orders re-shaping the federal workforce, ending diversity programs, restricting immigration, reversing Biden administration initiatives and more.
Brennan confronted Vance about it during an interview on Sunday, suggesting grocery prices will not come down under the new administration. “Prices are going to come down but it’s going to take a little bit of time, right?” Vance responded. “The president has been president for all of five days. I think in those five days he’s accomplished more than Joe Biden did in four years. It’s been an incredible breakneck pace of activity.”.
The vice president assured Brennan that through executive orders and collaboration with Congress, the new administration will drive down prices, raise wages and increase job opportunities – all of which will contribute to affordability. Vance also asserted that increasing oil and gas production will bring down energy prices, which will then impact consumer prices – a claim Trump has made as well.
