Cantwell presses Treasury nominee on grocery and gas prices in confirmation hearing

Jul 18, 2026

The segment covers a Senate Finance Committee confirmation hearing for Treasury nominees. Nominees affirm they would follow the law over any presidential directive. Senator Maria Cantwell then questions nominee Jonathan Broke on whether grocery and gas prices are too high, citing Joint Economic Committee data on cost increases since Trump took office and the start of conflict with Iran. The nominee responds by noting falling inflation and ongoing efforts to improve affordability. The hearing shifts to questions on international financial crime, fentanyl trafficking, and scam networks, with nominees discussing G20 and G7 cooperation.
