Rep.
Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) accused President Donald Trump of increasing financial pressure on American households, claiming his administration’s policies have added thousands of dollars in annual costs for families.
Khanna Targets Trump’s Economic Policies On Wednesday, in a post on X, Khanna said, "American families are paying $3,500 more a year because of Trump’s war in Iran, his blanket tariffs, and his tax breaks for the wealthy." In a video shared alongside the post, California Democrat said, "We know that the war in Iran has driven up food and gas prices.
We know that the blanket tariffs have driven up the prices of so many goods in stores." He also criticized Trump’s tax policies, arguing they contributed to cuts in government programs and higher health care expenses.
"And we know that Trump’s tax breaks to the wealthy led to steep Medicaid cuts that have meant $1,000 more in the health care costs for ordinary Americans," Khanna said.
