April 3 (Reuters) - The Federal Trade Commission will be watching U.S. companies closely to ensure they do not use the Trump administration's tariffs on imports as an excuse to raise prices, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said on Thursday.
"As we adjust to the new economic order, the FTC will be watching closely to make sure American companies are vigorously competing on prices. These necessary tariffs should not be interpreted as a green light for price fixing or any other unlawful behavior," Ferguson said on X.
