June 28, (THEWILL) – Former United States (US) President, Donald Trump, on Thursday, said the policies of President Joe Biden are killing Americans.
Trump, who spoke during the US presidential debate hosted by CNN in Atlanta, Georgia, said Biden has done a poor job in managing the US economy, stressing that the inflation rate is disastrous.
According to the former President, the rising prices and the cost of living have become key issues ahead of November’s presidential election.
“He has not done a good job. He’s done a poor job. And inflation is killing our country. It is absolutely killing us. I gave him a country with essentially no inflation. It was perfect. It was so good, all he had to do was leave it alone. He destroyed it,” he said.
The US Federal Reserve hiked its key lending rate from almost zero to a two-decade high of between 5.25 and 5.50 percent where it has remained for the past year.
Higher interest rates cool down the economy by raising borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, indirectly impacting everything from mortgage rates to auto loans.
