Trump said tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico planned for April 2 “could go up” and would not predict whether the United States will have a recession.

President Trump said that Americans would be better off in the long run from his tariffs, which he said would prevent the country from being “ripped off.”

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump declined Sunday (Mar 9) to rule out the possibility that the United States might enter a recession this year. "I hate to predict things like that," he told a Fox News interviewer when asked directly about a possible recession in 2025.
