Trump ordered the U.S. government to lower prices for Americans. Can he deliver?

President Trump, who while campaigning vowed to end the "inflation nightmare," on Monday signaled his focus on the high cost of living in the U.S. by signing an executive order that requires "all executive departments and agencies to deliver emergency price relief" to Americans. 

Mr. Trump's Jan. 20 order blames several factor for the pandemic-era inflation surge that has left many households feeling financially pinched, including high federal spending under the Biden administration and costs from new regulations. 

"It is critical to restore purchasing power to the American family and improve our quality of life," the executive order states.
