The former vice president said Trump's trade policy is "clearly inviting" this feared outcome.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday said President Donald Trump’s tariffs are “clearly inviting a recession” as she tore into his “reckless” trade policy from his first 100 days in office.
In a speech in San Francisco, delivered on the same day the U.S. Commerce Department released an economic report that’s politically damaging for Trump, Harris blasted the president and his allies for trying to spread fear, while tanking the economy.
“What they have overlooked is that fear is not the only thing that’s contagious,” she said. “Courage is contagious, the courage of Americans who are banding together in the face of the greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history.”
Across the country, Americans are reeling over the effects of Trump’s “reckless tariffs,” Harris added.
Gross domestic product shrank by 0.3% in the first four months of the year, the U.S. Commerce Department said on Wednesday, after having increased 2.4% at the end of last year, in a worrying sign for the U.S. economy.
