In a Fox News interview, President Trump said they would not rule out a possibility of Americans feeling economic hardships - including a recession - due to the trade war with Canada, Mexico, and China.
Trump sat down with Fox news host Maria Bartiromo today, as his administration deals with the fallout of applying expensive tariffs against their trading partners.
“I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big,” said Trump. “There are always periods of ... it takes a little time. It takes a little time. But I think it should be great for us.”

“We two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see,” he continued.
