Trump plays afraid of recession and says the USA would be “ok” in the long term

President Donald Trump played down concerns about potential economic difficulties on Friday and in the long run “OK”, even if the US economy experienced a recession at short notice.

In the long run, the moderator Kristen Welker was asked twice whether it would be in order in the long run if there was a recession at short notice.

Welker Trump asked the successor to see if he was worried about a recession that he answered “No” to which he replied to which he replied. When asked if he believes that one could happen, Trump replied: “Everything can happen, but I think we will have the greatest economy in our country's history.”

The comments come because analysts in Wall Street are increasingly concerned that the country could be exposed to a recession due to the changing tariff policy of Trump.

“Well, you know, you say: 'Say some people on Wall Street' – Well, I'll tell you something. Some people on Wall Street say that we will have the greatest economy in history. Why don't you talk about them?” Trump said during the interview in his Mar-Lago resort in Florida.

“There are many people on Wall Street that this will be the greatest stroke of luck that has ever happened,” added the president.

After the beginning Measurements published by the trade department on Wednesday shrank the US economy by 0.3%in the first quarter of 2025. Imports increase in front of Trump's expected tariffs.

On Wednesday, when Trump met with members of his cabinet, the blame for the gross inland product numbers was rejected in the first quarter.

“You probably saw some numbers today,” said Trump, “and I have to say first that this is biden.”

“This is not Trump,” he added on Wednesday. “Because we came in in January, these are quarterly figures, and we were very against everything that bids did in relation to the economy and destroyed our country in many ways.”

Since the beginning of his administration in January, Trump has tried to impose tariffs on America's largest trading partners, including Canada, Mexico and China.

At the beginning of the last month, the president held the introduction of a major break Customs in most countries for 90 days, just a few days after the imposition. His partial withdrawal promoted a rally in the markets, which regained the losses on Friday, which they had suffered after his first announcement on April 2.

At the same time, Trump hit China even more tariffs and increased the tariff rate for the Asian nation to 145%.

Nevertheless, the president has repeatedly dismissed concerns that the tariffs on China will have a major impact on the prices or the availability of consumer goods in the USA

During the cabinet seat, he said reporters: “Someone said:” Oh, the shelves will be open. “Maybe the children have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, do you know?
