Trump's Tariffs Could Trigger Recession by Year-End - Elon Musk

Economists caution that American President Donald Trump's ongoing tariff policies may push the U.S. into a recession in the second half of this year. 

The escalating trade war, marked by increased import taxes, risks disrupting global supply chains, raising consumer prices, and stifling economic growth. 

Elon warn that retaliatory tariffs from trading partners could further harm American exports, leading to job losses and reduced business investments. 

The combined effects of higher costs and trade instability may slow economic activity, potentially resulting in a downturn. 

Critics argue that while tariffs aim to protect domestic industries, they could backfire by weakening overall economic momentum. As tensions persist, fears of a recession grow, prompting calls for a reassessment of trade strategies.
