President Donald Trump is going to "cause" a recession, according to a warning from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, the leader of Canada's most populous province. Newsweek has contacted Ford's office for comment via email.

President Donald Trump said tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico planned for April 2 “could go up,” and would not predict whether the United States will have a recession in 2025.

President Donald Trump did not deny there could be a recession this year under his leadership, telling Fox News there would be a “period of transition” as his economic policies take effect, as the president’s rapidly shifting tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada have rattled the stock market and led to warnings of an economic downturn.
