They have been talking about beginning the inflationary cycle. They have not stated when they were going to do it though.
It will take IMO about 3-6 months for the cycle to ramp up. Then get your wheelbarrow out to go buy some bread.
The House has approved legislation that would allow the U.S. to seek trade sanctions against China and other nations for manipulating their currency to gain trade advantages.

The government CANNOT devalue a currency.
The government does not OWN the currency. The Fed does.
They will devaluate the currency, by injection more money into the banking system, it's called inflation.
Or hyper inflation will result. Although this does not happen over night. Rumormill news eh? Yup, that's all that is.
