White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller insisted that President Donald Trump shouldn’t be expected to predict possible recessions.

Trump has said that delayed tariffs against Mexico and Canada will likely result in “a little disturbance,” prompting concerns of a greater economic downturn. When asked about a possible recession, Trump defended the tariffs, saying they would be “the greatest things we’ve ever done for the country” and “make our country rich again,” though he largely avoided any recession forecast.
