Rep Dean GRILLS Trump Ally Over Soaring Banana Prices, Lutnick SHREDDED Over Trump’s Banana Tariffs

During a heated House hearing, Rep. Madeleine Dean confronted Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over the ripple effects of President Trump’s tariff plan. Dean spotlighted rising banana prices at Walmart as an example of how American consumers are already feeling the squeeze. Lutnick defended the trade strategy, but the clash underscores growing concerns over inflation and trade uncertainty. With tariffs announced in April and ongoing pushback in Congress, pressure is mounting over the economic toll of the escalating U.S. trade policies. #Tariffs #BananaPrices #CongressHearing #MadeleineDean #HowardLutnick #TrumpTradePolicy #TradeDeficit #USPolitics #EconomicPolicy #TariffDebate #WalmartPrices #Inflation #BananaInflation #HouseHearing #TariffImpact #ConsumerCosts #TradeTensions #TrumpTariffs #BananaWars #TariffTalks #CapitolClash #PoliticalNews #BreakingNews #TariffBattle #GroceryPrices #USImports #GlobalTrade #CommerceDepartment #EconomicUncertainty #DeanVsLutnick ~HT.410~ED.102~
