Inflation is cooling -- but Trump's tariffs could upend things

Falling gasoline prices helped keep inflation in check last month. AAA says the average price of regular gas nationwide is $3.22.

Consumer prices in March were up 2.4% from a year ago — a smaller annual increase than forecasters had expected. While President Trump has suspended many of his new tariffs, import taxes that remain could push prices higher in the months to come.
