“But ever becoming clear in the long run, Trump is damaging the US trend growth, which is an increase in the years beyond 2026. And he stands for high prices for American consumers, meaning, in my view, Fed (Federal Reserve) near Feder (Federal Reserve) has no reason to cut rates as President with Trump, and Trump has sovereigned and bruised as a President,” he said.

CNBC has approached the White House for a response and is waiting for a north.

The international stock markets have been shaken to their foundation in recent weeks, which is feared that Trump intended to revive a global trade war after announcing Trump from China, Mexico and Canada after announcing hard-touching import tariffs on goods.

Confusion and uncertainty have been followed, as the President announced last Friday that there would be a rebellion and delay on 2 April on some tariffs on the US neighbors and the nearest trading partners.

Trump’s unconventional approach to trade and international diplomacy has left markets, with US indices whipping, while strategists warned that Trump 2.0 ERA continues to be negative market spirit.

Trump has refused to dismiss the possibility of recession this year, but at the end of this week stressed that the economy was in “duration of transition”.

Asked about an economic contraction warning by Atlanta Fed’s Fox News channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures”, Trump admitted that his tariff plans could affect American development.

“I hate predicting such things,” he said in an interview aired on Sunday, when asked whether the recession warning was a concern.

“It is a period of infection because what we are doing is very big. We are bringing wealth back to America. This is a big thing.” The leader of the White House said, “It takes some time. It takes some time.”

JP Morgan’s US Market Intelligence Unit said last week that the US economy was entering another period of “uncertainty”, given the unexpected nature of tariffs. Analysts stated that they were taking a “recession” position on American shares, with the market expecting more volatility and potentially “pit” for “pit”.

“We have already seen negative effects that policy/trade uncertainty is lying on both domestic and corporate expenses, so it is likely that we see a large quantity of this in the next month. Keep an eye on unemployment rate, sorting, warning notice, etc., if we start watching the unemployment rate growing rapidly, it is possible that it is possible that it is possible that the market is back.

While an American recession was not the landscape of the bank’s base case, JP Morgan analysts warned that “the unique length of the tariff and the possibility of business war to see the acceleration in the new tariff (meaning) we feel that the stock will be challenged as the US GDP growth is a cut in estimates.”

“Looking at the lack of potential end for this increase, the hope is that both Canada and Mexico have these magnitude tariffs with drives in recession. We look at the expectations of GDP development for the pit and to be physically low for earning amendment, to reconsider the years of year-union, we are changing our ideas, keeping in mind this.”
