"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 in the statement

She said Trump called her after her remarks at the event on Monday.

"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," that "would build more housing and lower costs," she said in the statement.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on Tuesday.

"President Trump and Sen. Warren had a productive call about credit card interest rates and housing affordability for the American people," a White House official noted.

In a post on Truth Social last week, President Trump called for capping credit card interest rates at 10% for one year.

"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%. Coincidentally, the January 20th date will coincide with the one year anniversary of the historic and very successful Trump Administration," he declared in the post.
