Summary

President Joe Biden touted his administration’s economic recovery efforts, citing job growth, reduced inflation, and infrastructure investments, as he prepares to hand off a strong economy to Donald Trump.

Biden criticized Trump’s proposed steep tariffs on imports, warning they could harm the economy and reintroduce inflation.

Trump plans tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada, raising concerns about trade disruptions similar to those seen during his first term.

Economists caution that such policies could quickly reverse recent economic gains and weaken the U.S. economy.

    Inflation isn’t high anymore. Price increases are back to normal.

    Layoffs in the past year or two have nothing to do with the economy, most companies doing the layoffs are making more profit than ever, except maybe Boeing but that’s clearly not economy related. They just want more money. Had nothing to do with the economy.

      Layoffs have everything to do with the economy. If money isn’t going in then it isn’t going out and as money slows down, so does the economy. It doesn’t work without the people.
