Biden economic adviser pressed on inflation timeline: 'Give me just a ballpark' estimate

White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese joined the Fox News to respond to questions about the economy and Biden’s inflation plan Wednesday.

Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital. 

Deese in part blamed Vladimir Putin for "part" of the energy crisis the U.S. is facing, as many states remain above $5 per gallon for unleaded 87 octane.

In an interview on "The Story," anchor Martha MacCallum pressed Deese on his best projection on when inflation, now sitting around 9%, will return to a manageable 2%. Under President Trump, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which includes the energy market, averaged around that amount.
