“During the Trump administration, I was the Defense Production Act policy coordinator, and then we had instances of price gouging, which we cracked down on immediately,” *Peter Navarro said Thursday. “This is not that.

Brian Deese, Director of the National Economic Council, questioned the increase in meat prices from the White House lectern.
“He is the highest-ranking economic official besides the Treasury secretary not fundamentally understanding the underlying market forces that are creating this problem,” Mr. Navarro said.
“If he cannot understand those forces, he cannot address them.“
