President-elect Donald Trump admitted in an interview with Time magazine that it will be difficult for him to reduce consumer prices, contrary to statements he made on the campaign trail this year.
"It's hard to bring things down once they're up," Trump told Time in an hourlong interview for its "Person of the Year" feature. "You know, it's very hard."
