Trump says Marjorie Taylor Greene has 'lost her way' for criticizing his foreign policy focus

"The dispute reflects a fundamental challenge within Trump's coalition after last week's off-cycle elections, in which voters in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races flocked to Democrats in large part over concerns about the cost of living. The White House has recognized that it needs to do more to sell its efforts to address inflation to the wider public. But Trump - who is investing significant time in his second term on foreign policy - defended his approach. The president has been claiming that he's already beaten the problem of high prices."

"Greene, a Trump advocate in Congress, told NBC News last week that "watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans." She said prices remain too high and the president needs to focus on that rather than his recent emphasis on foreign affairs. "It's not reducing the cost of living." Greene said. "It's doing nothing about health insurance premiums. It's doing nothing to solve the problems that are really plaguing vulnerable segments of our population, especially young people.""

President Trump criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for urging a shift from foreign affairs to domestic inflation concerns, saying she had "lost her way." Recent off‑cycle election results in New Jersey and Virginia reflected voter anxiety about the cost of living, prompting the White House to emphasize the need to better communicate inflation efforts. Greene argued that hosting foreign leaders does nothing to lower prices, reduce health insurance premiums, or solve problems facing vulnerable and young Americans. Trump defended a global focus for the presidency, warning that neglecting foreign policy could allow wars to reach U.S. shores.
