Recent analyses from leading financial institutions and economic experts have raised alarms over the potential for a recession triggered by former President Donald Trump's tariff policies. According to a report by ABC News, the imposition of tariffs has led to significant economic strain, with experts warning of a looming recession. Goldman Sachs, as reported by Fortune, has indicated that the U.S. economy is showing signs of contraction due to these tariffs, further fueling recession fears.

Barron's highlighted the impact of these tariffs on consumer stocks, noting a downturn in market performance as a direct result of the policy. CNN's coverage emphasized Goldman Sachs' analysis, which suggests that the tariffs are not only affecting the economy but also consumer confidence and spending patterns. The consensus among these reports is clear: the tariffs implemented during Trump's administration are causing significant economic disruption, with the potential to push the U.S. into a recession.
