Fact Check
The PANews article directly quotes White House NEC director Hassett saying recent reports show inflation data is very outstanding (通胀数据非常出色), matching the claim that Hassett described recent inflation readings as very favorable. The Odaily flash confirms Hassett's title and that he made public economic remarks the same day (2026-08-03). WSJ corroborates his identity as the White House economic official on inflation/Fed matters. The available sources are secondary newswire aggregations citing Jin10 rather than a primary transcript, so confidence is medium, but they consistently support the claim.
