Much of that work could go up in smoke if his likely rival Donald Trump beats him at the polls in November, according to Republican policy advisers. Reuters spoke with a dozen Republican policy consultants and former Trump administration officials who are helping lay the groundwork for a second Trump presidency to sketch out the administration's likely approach to energy and environmental issues. Trump formally withdrew the U.S. during his first term in office but Biden swiftly reversed the move in 2021. "A big lesson that everybody in the first Trump administration learned was that personnel is really important. The idea of taking a hatchet to the entire IRA could, however, give some oil industry officials and Republican politicians pause, a former Trump administration official said.

Inflation could rebound, thanks to high energy prices and hot economic growth. "We're going to see another inflation wave that's going to be stimulated by high growth and by higher energy prices." But there are still lingering price pressures in the economy that could bring on a resurgence of hot inflation, Hassett warned. In Hassett's view, interest rates could "for sure" rise to 6%, a level unseen since December 2000 and something that most investors likely haven't priced into assets.

WASHINGTON — A former White House economist on Tuesday said he thinks the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates again amid rising inflation numbers and energy prices. "The hiking is coming again," Kevin Hassett, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under then-President Donald Trump, told CNBC's "Squawk Box." Hassett was referencing headline inflation, a measure of the total inflation within the economy including commodities such as food and energy. The CPI rose 0.2% for the month in July and 3.2% compared with the year prior. Though the annual rate of headline inflation came in below expectations, it marked an increase from 3% in June, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Journal Editorial Report: Paul Gigot interviews former Trump White House economist Kevin Hassett. Had the vote failed, House Republicans would have lost all leverage over the debt ceiling, and the Senate and White House would have cut their own deal and then jammed the House. President Biden says he won’t sign the House bill, but the pressure is now on him to negotiate. The same for the Senate, which will have to pass a bill of its own or risk a U.S. default. Democrats can say they still won’t negotiate, but that is harder to do now that the House has a passed a bill to raise the limit.

Journal Editorial Report: Paul Gigot interviews former Trump White House economist Kevin Hassett. Images: AP/Zuma Press Composite: Mark KellyFrom Wall Street to Silicon Valley, from the Permian Basin to the Chicago Loop, an iron net of regulation has descended across the American economy. Churchill’s metaphor conveys the magnitude of the onslaught and the peril it poses to the American economy and our freedom. We face not an errant regulator or an officious bureaucrat, but a sea change in the economy’s regulatory ecosystem. In the short term, President Biden’s regulatory tsunami will fuel inflation and make a recession more likely.
