Prices in the USA rise fast. In April, prices rose by 3.8 percent. This is the highest value in 3 years.
One reason is the war against Iran. The way for ships in the sea is closed. Therefore oil and fuel cost much more money.
Fuel is nearly 30 percent more expensive than one year ago. Also flights cost much more money now. The airlines must pay more for fuel.
Food in the supermarket is also more expensive. Above all meat, fish and vegetables cost more. Tomatoes are nearly 40 percent more expensive than last year.
President Donald Trump says: The price rise is only short. He wants to lower taxes on fuel. For that he needs help from the parliament.
Experts are worried. Wages grow slower than prices. This is a problem for many people in the USA.
