特朗普政府已承认，由于与伊朗的战争导致油气价格上涨，将推高通胀。但政府多次表示，一个被削弱的伊朗将值得付出这样的代价。
On Friday, the White House opted for a different message: Other prices are falling.
周五，白宫选择传达另一种信息：其他商品价格正在下降。
“Although gas and energy prices are seeing volatility, prices of eggs, beef, prescription drugs, dairy, and other household essentials are falling or remain stable thanks to President Trump’s policies,” said White House spokesperson Kush Desai in a post on X.
白宫发言人库什·德赛在X平台发文称：“尽管汽油和能源价格出现波动，但由于特朗普总统的政策，鸡蛋、牛肉、处方药、乳制品以及其他家庭必需品的价格正在下降或保持稳定。”
Desai is right: Egg prices have fallen 44.7% over the past year as the industry recovered from the avian flu epidemic that had sent prices of a dozen eggs into the double digits. Meat edged 0.6% lower last month but prices remain high – and have risen 6.8% over the past year.
德赛的说法部分属实：过去一年中，随着行业从禽流感疫情中恢复，鸡蛋价格已下降 44.7%，此前一打鸡蛋的价格曾涨至两位数。上个月肉类价格小幅下降 0.6%，但整体仍处于高位——过去一年上涨了 6.8%。
Overall, grocery prices fell 0.2% last month but remain 1.9% higher over the course of the year.
总体来看，杂货价格上月下降了 0.2%，但全年仍上涨了 1.9%。
Desai also noted that US oil production remains robust and tax cuts will help pad consumers’ bank accounts.
德赛还指出，美国石油产量依然强劲，减税将有助于增加消费者的可支配收入。
But the average increased tax refund is $351 this year, compared to last year. The annual increase in gas prices will cost households $190 a month in added costs, according to Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates.
但与去年相比，今年平均退税增加额仅为351美元。根据Lipow Oil Associates总裁安迪·利波的说法，汽油价格的年度上涨将使家庭每月增加 190美元的支出。
