Donald Trump says falling US GDP is the result of Joe Biden's policies, not his tariffs: 'Our country will take off economically, but first we have to get rid of the remnants of Joe Biden'

President Donald Trump has said the decline in US GDP in the first quarter is "reminiscent" of the Biden administration, emphasizing that tariffs are not to blame. GDP fell 0.3% and Trump urged patience, promising an economic recovery. Experts suggest that rising imports have negatively impacted GDP and the tariff strategy has led to economic instability. Critics of the customs policy suggest it could negatively affect domestic production and the ability to import cheaply.
