トランプ政権1年 「働けど働けど生活成り立たず」…キャベツ1玉1000円超！？物価高・経済格差に悲鳴【Nスタ解説】｜TBS NEWS DIG #shorts

The 20th marks one year since the inauguration of the second Trump administration in the United States. America, and the world, has changed dramatically over the past year. The Trump administration has been touting the idea of ​​“America First,” but economic disparity is widening domestically, and some people are complaining that people can’t make a living no matter how hard they work. ■Gyoza for a family of four costs 5,529 yen for ingredients Caster Takahiro Inoue: Disparities have been pointed out in Japan, but in the United States, the disparities are even greater than they are in Japan. How much have prices gone up in America? JNN Washington Bureau Reporter Jun Ohashi: This time, in order to make gyoza for a family of four in Washington, I gathered all the usual ingredients such as frozen skin, coriander instead of chives, ground pork, cabbage, and garlic, and it cost 5,529 yen. In particular, the cabbage comes at a shocking price of $7.24 (= 1137 yen) per cabbage, which makes me feel like I have to use it all the way to the core.[When you make gyoza in Washington…](Calculated at 1 dollar = 157 yen) ●Gyoza skin: $3.75 (589 yen) ●Minced pork (450g): $7.99 (1254 yen) ●Cabbage: $7.24 (1137 yen) ●Coriander: $2.25 (353 yen) *Chives are hard to come by in America ●Garlic: $0.91 (143 yen) ●Ginger: $2.59 (407 yen) ●Soy sauce: $4.29 (674 yen) ●Sesame oil: $6.19 (972 yen) It is said that wages are rising in the United States, but there is also a large disparity, and for many people, the reality is that wages are not rising as much as prices. ■Supply can’t keep up with demand High prices in the US Caster Inoue: What is the difference between high prices in the US and Japan? The reason behind the continued rise in prices in the United States is that supply is not keeping up with demand. Wages and labor costs are rising due to labor shortages, energy prices are rising due to factors such as the invasion of Ukraine, and prices of beef and coffee are also rising due to Trump tariffs. High prices in Japan are said to be largely influenced by the weak yen, while in the United States, demand is high and labor costs are also rising. Furthermore, prices are rising due to “inflation expectations” taking hold. However, the situation continues to be uneven because the prices of goods have increased more than wages. ■61% disapprove…Does President Trump “not care about the people”? Caster Inoue: What do you think about the future of the American economy? JNN Washington Bureau Reporter Ohashi: The American people seem to be looking at it with a very harsh eye. According to a poll released by CNN on the 16th, President Trump’s approval rating was 39%, with 61% disapproving. Furthermore, 58% of people think the first year of the Trump administration was a failure. Furthermore, only 33% of people said that President Trump “cares about people like them,” while 66% of people think that President Trump “doesn’t care about them.” Since the beginning of the year, President Trump has been actively working on diplomatic issues such as Venezuela and Greenland, but are these really the themes that the American people want? How does it feel for people who are struggling with their daily lives? I think this is where President Trump’s future evaluation will be divided. Caster Inoue: Since President Trump has a rock-solid support base, it is said that he may make a surprise move in the run-up to the midterm elections in November. Shogo Imamura, historical/period novelist: Looking at President Trump’s approval ratings, we can see a trend in which people who previously supported him are leaving him. After all, facing life can erode even if you have a strong support base. ========== Jun Ohashi JNN Washington Bureau 3rd year of America’s “Saving Life” Podcast program “Weekly Washington” now available Comments Shogo Imamura won the 166th Naoki Award for “Shiou no Shishi” Debut work “Hi-Eater: Ushu Boro Tobigumi” Anime broadcasting ▼ TBS NEWS DIG official website https://news.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Please subscribe to the channel! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6AG81pAkf6Lbi_1VC5NmPA?sub_confirmation=1 ▼ Click here to provide information “TBS Insiders” https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-insiders.html ▼ Click here to provide video “TBS Scoop Post” https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou.html #News #news #TBS #newsdig
