Trump tried not to roil the economy before midterms. He's about to be unleashed. - POLITICO
Trump still wants to bring tariffs close to where they stood before the Supreme Court struck down a broad swath of them in February, according to nine current and former officials, congressional aides and industry representatives.

The Pentagon, meanwhile, has been sending more forces to the Middle East, and Trump has been hinting that more action is coming in Iran.
Republican and industry officials don’t believe the president is going to slow his agenda because of a poor showing by his party in the midterms. If anything, he may speed it up…

Market forces and global events like pandemics and wars tend to influence refinery production more than presidential policy, and the most obvious cause of today’s high gasoline prices is the Iran war, which was launched by President Donald Trump.

Climate change and energy policies introduced by former President Joe Biden could play a long-term role in nudging refinery operators to cut back or shut down facilities, experts say…
