President Trump tries to refocus on the economy

January 13, 2026·20m

President Trump is giving a speech about the economy Tuesday in Detroit after weeks of drifting away from the subject. We discuss how the White House is responding to voters’ concerns about stubbornly high prices and Trump’s growing pressure campaign against the Federal Reserve. This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, and chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
