Donald Trump's Announcement That Grocery Prices Will Go Down Or Maybe Not

President-elect Donald Trump says Americans not being able to afford groceries will be a relic of the past. 

 

“They’re going to be affording their groceries very soon”, he promised Thursday before ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, where he was honored as Time’s “Person of the Year”. 

 

But in a Time Magazine “Person of the Year” interview published on that same day, when referring to grocery prices, he also said that might be very hard to achieve: “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard…”.

The Sivasangari Subramaniam-led Malaysian women's team pulled off the biggest upset of the World Team Squash Championships by defeating third seeds England to book a spot in the semi-finals in Hong Kong, China on Thursday. 

 

The world No. 10 (left) delivered the winning point for fifth seeds Malaysia, overcoming world No. 19 Sarah-Jane Perry 4-11, 11-7, 11-8, 11-6 in 40 minutes. Earlier, two-time national champion Aira Azman gave Malaysia a crucial lead with a hard-fought 4-11, 13-11, 11-7, 11-6 win over world No. 33 Lucy Beecroft in 39 minutes. 

 

Sivasangari's victory signaled a strong comeback after she suffered a setback in the last 16 when she was upstaged by world No. 11 Satomi Watanabe of Japan 11-3, 11-6, 11-6 on Wednesday. Thanks to Aira who leveled the scores for Malaysia with a 11-5, 11-7, 11-8 win over Mahiro Nishio and then, world No. 18 and China Open champion Rachel Arnold who scored the winning point for Malaysia by beating Akari Midorikawa 11-6, 11-3, 11-6.

 

Malaysia, who shared third place with England in the 2022 Egypt edition, will likely face the United States in the semi-finals tomorrow.
