Trump Refuses to Rule Out Recession Amid Economic Uncertainty

Former President Donald Trump has recently indicated that he does not rule out the possibility of a recession in the United States, amidst ongoing economic uncertainties and market turmoil. During a series of statements and interviews, Trump acknowledged the economy being in a state of transition but remained optimistic about its resilience against his tariff policies, which have been a point of contention among business leaders.

Trump's comments come at a time when financial markets are experiencing significant fluctuations, with concerns about inflation and the impact of international trade policies on the domestic economy. In a notable exchange, Trump responded to queries from business magnate Howard Lutnick, who expressed worries over the potential for a recession triggered by current economic policies.

The former president's refusal to dismiss the possibility of an economic downturn has sparked a range of reactions from economists and political analysts. Some view his stance as a realistic acknowledgment of economic challenges, while others see it as a potential signal of concern for the stability of the U.S. economy in the near future.
