Trump Contacts Elizabeth Warren After She Criticizes His Economic Record [WATCH]

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren said President Donald Trump personally called her after she delivered a speech criticizing his record on costs, credit card interest rates, and housing affordability, as reported by Fox News.

Warren made the claim following remarks she delivered Monday at a National Press Club event in Washington, where she accused the Trump administration of failing to reduce financial pressure on American families.

According to Warren, the phone call took place later the same day, after she concluded her speech and answered questions from reporters.

“This morning, I gave a speech noting how Donald Trump is driving up costs for families, sowing terror and chaos in our communities, and abusing his power to prosecute anyone who criticizes him. I also laid out an argument for how Democrats should fight back and win,” Warren said in a statement released after the event.

During her remarks at the National Press Club, Warren said the president has a “credibility problem” and accused him of failing to deliver on his promise to reduce costs for Americans.

“In my remarks, I made it clear that despite promising to lower costs On Day One, Trump has done nothing but raise costs for families,” she said.

Warren said Trump contacted her directly after the speech. According to her account, the conversation focused on legislative proposals related to consumer credit and housing.

“I told him that Congress can pass legislation to cap credit card rates if he will actually fight for it. I also urged him to get House Republicans to pass the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act,” Warren said, adding that the proposal “would build more housing and lower costs.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House on Tuesday for comment regarding the call. A White House official confirmed that the conversation took place and characterized it as constructive.

“President Trump and Sen. Warren had a productive call about credit card interest rates and housing affordability for the American people,” the official said.

The exchange comes as President Trump has publicly supported limits on credit card interest rates. In a post on Truth Social last week, Trump called for a temporary cap on rates, setting out a specific timeline tied to his return to office.

“Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%,” Trump wrote.

“Coincidentally, the January 20th date will coincide with the one year anniversary of the historic and very successful Trump Administration.”

Warren’s comments at the National Press Club reflected continued Democratic criticism of Trump’s economic policies, particularly on housing affordability.

She said during the event that the president has not done “one damn thing to actually lower the cost of housing for the American people.”

The episode highlighted a rare moment of direct engagement between Trump and one of his most vocal Democratic critics.

While Warren framed the call as an opportunity to push her policy priorities, the White House emphasized shared discussion points rather than political conflict.

Neither side provided additional details about whether further discussions or legislative action would follow the call.
