Arabic version: ترامب يضغط على الشركات الأمريكية لخفض الأسعار والنقاد يطلقون تحذيرات

Trump has stepped up pressure on US companies in an effort to drive down prices, a move that has drawn criticism.

According to Financial Times, the campaign to push companies to lower their prices has prompted critics to warn that the tactic signals a shift toward a ‘hyper-populist playbook’ as inflation lingers.

The Financial Times used the headline: Trump ups the pressure on US companies in drive to lower prices. Its subhead read: Critics fear shift to ‘hyper-populist playbook’ as inflation lingers.

The draft above summarizes those two core points from the FT reporting cited: that the president has intensified efforts to pressure firms over prices, and that critics view that approach as indicative of a political shift described by the FT as a move toward a ‘hyper-populist playbook’ in the context of persistent inflation. The content here confines itself to those elements as presented in the source and does not introduce additional specifics beyond the FT coverage.
