WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) discussed affordability and interest rates in a call on Jan. 12 following the senator’s wide-ranging address that morning about economic stances within the Democratic Party.

“After my speech, the president called me, and I delivered this same message on affordability to him directly. I told him that Congress can pass legislation to cap credit card rates if he will actually fight for it,” Warren said in a statement posted on X.
