Energy holding company AES in Ohio, USA, fell 2.2% in early trading on Tuesday. With the rising cost of electricity in the United States by 2025, American consumers face an increase in electricity rates, meaning that President Trump's previous goal of "cutting energy bills in half within the first year of a single term" has not been achieved. During his 2024 campaign, Trump claimed that if elected, he would reduce energy costs for ordinary families by 50% in his first year in office by increasing domestic energy production.
