Summary
Donald Trump declined to rule out a U.S. recession in 2025, citing a “period of transition” due to his trade policies.
When asked if tariffs would fuel inflation, he acknowledged the possibility but pointed to lower interest rates.
Despite stock market volatility, he insisted “you have to do what’s right.” The Atlanta Federal Reserve warned of economic contraction, raising recession fears.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick dismissed concerns, predicting strong growth. Trump’s stance contrasts with his past claims that trade wars are “good and easy to win.”
The US is definitely going to have a recession, I just hope it’s not going to be s full on depression.
Please try to become as self sufficient as possible. I already have laying hens and a salsa garden, I’m going to try for dry beans this year.
