Trump’s Tariff Policies Raise Fears of Potential U.S. Recession

Economic experts warn of risks tied to proposed tariffs and government spending cuts as the U.S. economy faces uncertainty.

President Donald Trump describes the economy as being in a 'transition' and suggests a recession could be a necessary tradeoff for his economic policies.
Proposed tariffs on major trading partners, including China, Canada, and Mexico, are raising concerns about inflation and reduced consumer purchasing power.
While current economic indicators like low unemployment and stable consumer spending suggest resilience, declining business and consumer sentiment is fueling recession fears.
Experts estimate a 35% chance of a U.S. recession, driven by tariff-related costs, geopolitical uncertainties, and spending cuts.
Recessions historically impose disproportionate burdens on marginalized groups, with rising unemployment and income losses being among the most significant consequences.
