The U.S. economy is showing signs of strain due to former President Donald Trump’s tariffs and spending cuts. These economic policies have raised concerns among consumers already wary of inflation. Critics argue that Trump’s approach is ‘making America expensive again,’ as tariffs contribute to higher costs for goods. Economists are debating whether inflation might return, with some suggesting that these measures could further burden the economy. The financial sector is particularly concerned about the long-term impacts of these policies on consumer confidence and spending. — news from The New York Times
