What happened

U.S. consumer inflation rose 4.2% in May, the highest rate in three years, driven largely by soaring energy prices tied to the war in Iran. President Donald Trump said he "likes" inflation and later argued his remarks were taken out of context, drawing sharp criticism from Democrats. The surge has raised pressure on the Federal Reserve and worsened concerns about energy costs and supply disruptions.
