Trump Administration Credits Deregulation and Border Policies for Economic Surge
Inflation eased more than anticipated in February, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) showing core consumer prices dropping to their lowest level in nearly four years, according to a report released Tuesday. The White House hailed the figures as proof of President Donald Trump’s economic strategy, crediting deregulation and energy policies for driving down costs.

“Today’s CPI report shows inflation is declining and the economy is moving in the right direction under President Trump,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “This inflation report, much like last week’s jobs report, is far better than the media predicted and the so-called ‘experts’ expected. When will they learn to stop doubting President Trump?”
Economic Victories
The report comes amid a string of economic victories for the administration. Mortgage rates have fallen to their lowest levels since December, offering relief to Americans after years of rising prices under the previous Biden-Harris administration, which Leavitt called an “economic and inflation nightmare.”
Beyond inflation, Trump’s policies are spurring significant job growth. GE Aerospace announced a $1 billion investment in its U.S. manufacturing operations across 16 states, creating 5,000 new jobs. Japan’s Asahi Group Holdings revealed a $35 million expansion of its Wisconsin plant, while Merck opened a $1 billion facility in North Carolina as part of an $8 billion multi-year U.S. investment plan.
Border Security
The administration also highlighted progress on border security, pointing to a 99% drop in migration through Panama’s Darien Gap. Officials say would-be illegal border crossers are turning back due to stricter enforcement measures.
“America is roaring back,” Leavitt declared, framing the developments as steps toward “unlocking the Golden Age of America.” The White House says it will continue its focus on deregulation and energy dominance to sustain the momentum.
