Warning from economists
While economists warn of the pain that such definitions may have left, the financial markets have increased seriously, there is a strong belief that Trump uses his harsh words to push negotiations forward in his favor, but it may not go ahead with this entirely to avoid damage to the stock market and the economy in US.

Trump retreated in his threats
Trump showed that he was able to quickly back down from his threats, as it happened when he was suspended for 30 days by customs duties by 25% announced on all imports from Canada and Mexico.
In addition to more strict pressure on the budgets of American families, inflation is likely to keep the Federal Reserve in a state of anticipation for a period of time in terms of providing relief to Americans by lowering interest rates.
Federal reserve decisions
The Federal Reserve has reduced the interest rate from September until the end of last year 2024 with the aim of making borrowing cheaper, assisting the economy and enhancing stock prices, bonds and other investments.

Its goal is to maintain inflation at 2 %, and low interest rates can increase inflation.
