According to Odaily, the United States experienced an unexpected contraction in GDP during the first quarter. U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the situation, attributing the economic downturn to the previous administration under President Biden. Trump emphasized that he assumed office on January 20 and stated that tariffs would soon take effect, with companies entering the U.S. in record numbers. He expressed optimism about the country's future prosperity but noted that overcoming Biden's economic challenges would take time. Trump clarified that the issues were not related to tariffs but rather the poor economic figures left by Biden. He urged patience, assuring that once the U.S. economy begins to thrive, it will be unparalleled.
