PNN – During a meeting of the US House of Representatives Finance Committee, a verbal altercation broke out between these representatives and the Treasury Secretary.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Russia Today, during a meeting of the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, California Democratic Representative Maxine Waters criticized Donald Trump’s economic policies and said: His tariffs have caused inflation, and immigration laws have undermined the ability to afford housing.
He added: Is there a sane person in the Trump administration who would encourage him to stop waging war against American consumers?
In contrast, the US Treasury Secretary said: You seem to be confused about the definition of inflation.
At this point, Waters interrupts the Treasury Secretary and repeats his question.
After the American minister starts speaking again, Waters says to the commission chairman: Can you shut him up? He wasted my time.
New York Democratic Representative Greg Meeks also angrily shouted at the Treasury Secretary, saying: Stop justifying the president. Stop following Trump. This undue influence comes from the Trump family’s crypto currency project.
Meeks pointed to the Trump family’s company’s connections with foreign investors while he was also in charge of US foreign policy.
