Trump's Statements on the U.S. Economy

In a live speech delivered late Wednesday/Thursday night from the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump tried to convince the American people that their concerns about the economy are unfounded, affirming that any existing challenges are being addressed.

Trump stated that his administration has achieved significant successes over the past eleven months, adding: "You now have a president who is making this country work."

He said, "Eleven months ago, I inherited a legacy burdened with crises, and I am now in the process of fixing it."

His remarks come at a critical time as he strives to rebuild his steadily declining popularity. Public opinion polls show that the majority of adults in the United States feel frustrated with his handling of the economy, especially as inflation accelerates following tariffs he imposed that have led to higher prices and slower hiring, according to the Associated Press.
