A condominium in the 100 block of the Escobar Avenue in Los Gatos has a new owner. The 1,218 square meter plot of land, which was built in 1972, was sold on February 18, 2025 for USD 1,615,000 or $ 1,326 per square foot. This is a one -story apartment. In addition, the house is equipped with not specified types. The lot of the property comprises an area of ​​2,666 square foot.

Additional units that have recently changed nearby include:

• A 1,494 square meter unit on the 100-block of the Escobar Avenue in Los Gatos was sold in May 2024 for USD 1,355,000, a price per square foot of USD 907. The device has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Drake is in so that we can do without the arguments about whether Ben McCollum Bulldogs would have made the field of 68 without gaining the Missouri-Valley tournament (you probably would probably not have), the follow-up discussions about the emergency of the mid-major tournament for another day and simply estimate that this tournament is better with drake.

Lipscomb is also in. And climax. And Siu-Edwardsville. And Omaha. With the Sun Belt and Southern Conference, which is supposed to produce Champions on Monday. And during the week we will end the Power Conference tournaments and in the selection on Sunday. The teams that play near the bladder for this automatic commandments and the high hope of hope are of course the most at the game search this week for regular updates on the Bubble Watch by Jim Root.

But what about the operations in safe parts of the bracket? Here are five teams who are in their conference tournaments and five who cannot win that cannot be won.

Five should be hard this week

Florida: I have Florida as the last No. 1 seed after an enormous victory in Alabama, and a seed No. 1 is simply worthwhile to ensure the avoidance of Auburn/Duke. Although I am not sure whether Florida should worry about avoiding anyone how the Gator plays.

Alabama: It is so close between Florida and Alabama. If things run the way this bracket unfolds, it would not be much important because the total name of number 4 and the total name No. 5 were shipped to the west. But it doesn’t have to develop that way. The only clear rule is that No. 5 in total cannot be with No. 1.

Tennessee: It is also so close between Alabama and Tennessee. These three seem to fight for a place, since Houston is in the direction of No. 1 blocking status. But it is worthwhile that the Vols are a higher number 2 than Alabama – that is the difference between the beginning of Lexington or Cleveland.

Wisconsin: The roofs have to get their boast. A No. 3 seeds is still very accessible and is worth it.

Uconn: The huskies have to maintain the swing. And let yourself be stopped by having to play in an 8/9 game.

Five would be better to clear up and rest

Auburn: Two defeats in a row have not changed the fact that this is the clear best resume in sport. You are directly sec champs. Instead of beating yourself over three days, say everyone that your bus collapsed and Johni Broome’s left ankle brings some break.

Duke: The total name No. 1 could be reached, I assume. But what? Duke will be a No. 1 seed with a Raleigh-Newark path. Auburn will be a No. 1 seed with a Lexington Atlanta path. This week is nothing more than fighting injury.

Michigan State: I don’t see the Spartaners who crack the top line – even though they can be pushy! I also don’t see how they fall into a seed No. 3. Another Outright champion that doesn’t need the trouble.

St. Johns: A start in Providence should be secured with a No. 3 seed. So instead of going for a No. 2, maybe you take a few thousand pictures instead?

Houston: Ok, go hard for a win, just to ensure on this No. 1 seed.

We will be back with a new bracket on Thursday, and then it is every day until the big day.

The athlete

Five years ago, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization explained the outbreak of Covid-19 A global pandemic. The new Coronavirus, Suns-Dim-started as the “cluster of severe pneumonia cases with unknown causes”, which was reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It had reported 118,000 cases in 114 countries by March 11.

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who at the time was General Director in a media meeting that day said that “the WHO is deeply concerned with both the alarming spread and severe level levels as well as through the alarming inactivity”. He asked the leaders to move quickly Scale your emergency answersAnd say that “all countries can still change the course of this pandemic.”

Public health authorities such as the WHO and the US centers for the control and prevention of diseases played with critical roles during the entire pandemic during coordination Local health departments After recognizing, chasing and testing for the virus. The WHO and CDC websites Get unprecedented traffic Since they became invaluable sources for the latest resources for prevention, number of cases, hospital stays and deaths. The National health institutes was instrumental in the development of COVID-19 treatments and contributions to vaccine research.

Now, five years later The USA withdraw from the WHO.

At the same time, the United States with outbreaks of tuberculosis, a Resuscitation of measles Among non -vaccinated communities and the worst flu period in 15 years.

Much of the WHO work, the CDC and other public health authorities take place behind the scenes, which only occasionally attract the public attention. In order to put these roles in the right perspective, it can be helpful to examine public health before these uniform units existed.

A spreading epidemic, slow communication

As the author of the book 2020 “”Construction of the outbreak: epidemics in the media and collective memory” And “Cover Covid: Media and Pandemic in the digital age“, Published in 2025, I examined in detail How the public health crises have developed. And through my research as a scientist for health communication, I analyzed the essential role of non -profit organizations and public authorities in protecting public health.

Both WHO and the CDC were set up in the 1940s. Before an international or even national network of public health authorities existed, there were no coordinated means of communication, external studies or formalized species to record data in geographical areas. Without a means of exchanging information, it was much more difficult for outbreaks and epidemics to be connected between the regions.

A remarkable example was the influenza pandemic from 1918, a fatal combination of influenza and pneumonia, which first appeared A basis of the Kansas Army in the spring of 1918. From there, the epidemic moved to overseas and spread until late summer throughout Asia and Europe. When it returned to the United States in August, the disease was displaced by the “Spanish flu”. The lack of media reporting on the outbreak of spring, coupled with the lack of illness tracking, meant that most people believed that the fatal tribes had started in Europe.

Nobody officially followed these outbursts until the disease returned with American troops in August 1918. In September, the US surgeon and the US public health service tried to do so Measure the size and gearbox from influenza by sending telegrams to state health officers.

At this point it was far too late for mass preparation. The few stories of the spring outbreaks had been buried in a flood of competing news about the World War. Therefore, people knew almost nothing about the angry illness until she infected her own city. Briefly to resources and caregivers, the municipalities had to create provisional hospitals and find healthy residents who care for the sick.

For example at the University of Kansas during influenza pandemic, professors of female professors Well -kept for sick students, faculties and employeesWashed bed linen and prepared food. Since agencies such as the WHO and CDC have not yet existed and the world war further hindered communication, only a few information in geographical regions was documented and shared, e.g.

The influenza pandemic quickly faded into the Collective memory of the publicPartly due to the lack of personal stories and follow-up stories, after cases were decreased-at least to Covid-19, a new public interest in the 100-year crisis aroused.

The polio epidemic saw a more coordinated reaction

From the 1930s, public health reactions to polio outbreaks showed the advantages of nationally coordinated efforts. The National Foundation for Infantile paralysis helped combat polio through fundraising, carried out campaigns to educate the public, to support scientific research and to help sacrifices from the acute hospital stage through rehabilitation. These efforts were particularly evident in the 1952 Polio epidemic.

In the summer of 1952 escalated US policy cases, Finally a total of 57,628 -More than a third of it included different levels of paralysis. The National Foundation for Infantile paralysis coordinated with local chapters of their organization throughout the epidemic. Together, the foundation held people over the growing epidemic, created polio -oriented hospital wings, recruited nurses and other members of the health professions and joint resources for the areas with outbreaks.

The widespread vaccination efforts led to a profound reduction in polio falls in the United States in the 1960s, which caused the National Foundation for Infantile paralysis Change his name and mission to the March of Dimes. The organization served as a model for non -profit organizations and public health authorities for communication and coordination between local and national companies.

The critical role of public health authorities

The CDC was opened in 1946 Representatives from 53 countries the constitution of the WHO. This global unit brought together countries through continents to combat monitoring, prevention, treatment and research by the disease.

When these agencies were extended into new areas of public health in the 1950s and 1960s, they reflected many of the approaches and strategies used by the National Foundation for Infantile paralysis: Persecution and recording of data publicly, to raise the public, to examine threats, to help in moments of crises and support scientific research. Together, the CDC and WHO have significantly improved public health from the Global extermination of smallpox and the decline of those in the vaccine dancing to the development and Implementation of HIV/AIDS treatments.

Before the Covid 19 pandemic, the roles of these agencies often did not attract much attention, since field agents traveled to examine something as routinely as Salmonella or as scary as hemorrhagic fever cases.

While Public opinions of the CDC and the Who were moving through the Covid 19 pandemicThe latest survey results show that the majority of Americans Trust of public health authorities At least to a certain extent. A survey of 2024 showed that almost 60% of American adults believe that the United States benefited from his WHO membership.

When infectious diseases come out of the spotlight and are considered less urgent, the critical roles of these public health authorities fade into the distant collective memory, similar to the pandemics of 1918 and Covid-19. People forget early enough the need for ongoing scientific research, educational programs and teams that can quickly react to local, national and international level.

The disease is still a threat because the outbreaks of measles, tuberculosis, influenza and other pathogens remind us. People are still sick or die of Covid-19: from March 1st, 6,725 people had died from Covid-19 in the USA especially in 2025 and almost 7.1 million died worldwide since January 2020.

Without strong, coordinated efforts between public health authorities, even small disasters can escalate in adult epidemics or even pandemics, for which the world will be far less prepared.

The mineral assets of Ukraine was one Key factor in the negotiations With the United States, since the two countries carry out details for a ceasefire agreement in the Ukraine war with Russia.

After a rocky start for these negotiations from the USA and Ukraine terminated an agreement On March 11, 2025. with some conditionsAnd both agreed to work on a “comprehensive agreement on the development of the critical mineral resources of Ukraine to expand the economy of Ukraine and to ensure the long -term security of Ukraine”.

The first announcement of the Ukrainian government included that critical minerals also “compensate for the costs of American support”, but this line was removed from the joint announcement. The next step would be to get Russia to agree with an armistice.

There is no doubt that Ukraine has a wealth of critical minerals or that these resources will be essential for reconstruction after the war. But what exactly do these resources include and how plentiful and accessible are they?

The war has severely restricted access to data on the natural resources of Ukraine. However, as a Geoscientist With the experience in resource evaluation, I have read technical reports, many of which behind Paywalls to understand what is up to. We know the following.

Ukraine Minerals Fuel Industries and Militars

Ukraine’s mineral resources concentrate on Two geological provinces. The larger of these, known as the Ukrainian shield, is a large belt that leads through the center of the country from the northwest to southeast. It consists of very old, metamorphic and granite rocks.

A billion -year history of the fault movement and the volcanic activity led to a variety of minerals that focused on local locations and in some larger regions.

A second province near the Ukrainian border with Russia in the east comprises a Rift basin, which is known as a Dnipro donets depression. It is filled with sediment stones that contain coal, oil and natural gas.

Before Independence of Ukraine In 1991, both areas provided the Soviet Union with materials for their industrialization and military. In the southeast, a massive industrial area grew that focused on steel production, where iron, manganese and coal are particularly abundant.

In the 2000s the Ukraine A was significant producer and exporter of this and other minerals. It too Mines uraniumused for nuclear energy.

In addition, Soviet and Ukrainian geoscientists identified deposits of lithium and rare earth metals that remain undeveloped.

However, technical reports indicate that evaluations of this and some other critical minerals Outdated geological dataThe A significant number of mines is inactive Because of the war and so many people deal older, inefficient technology.

This indicates that critical mineral production could be increased from foreign investments through peace times and that these minerals could still offer a higher value than today, whoever controls them.

Why the United States is so interested

Critical minerals Are defined as resources that are essential for economic or national security and are subject to the supply risks. This includes minerals used in military devices, computers, batteries and many other products.

A List of 50 critical mineralsCreated with the US Geological Survey shows that there are more than a dozen of the USA in Ukraine.

Much of it is located in the Ukrainian sign, and around 20% of the total possible reserves of Ukraine are located in areas that are currently occupied by the Russian armed forces.

Critical minerals Ukraine currently mines

Three critical minerals that are particularly abundant in Ukraine are manganese, titanium and graphite. Between 80% and 100% of the US demand for each of these is currently comes from foreign imports..

Manganese is an essential element for steel production and the batteries. It is estimated that Ukraine has the largest total reserves in the world with 2.4 billion tons. However, the deposits are of a fairly low grade – only 11% to 35% of the mined rock are manganese. Therefore, it usually requires a lot of material and expensive workmanship, which increases the total costs.

This also applies to graphite that is used in battery electrodes and A variety of industrial applications. Graphite occurs in ore bodies in the southern center and northwestern part of the Ukrainian shield. At least six deposits were identified there, with a total of 343 million tons of ore identifying 18.6 million tons of actual graphite. It is the largest source in Europe and that Fifth largest worldwide.

Titanium, a key metal for aerospace, ship and rocket technology, is available at up to 28 locations in Ukraine, both in hard rock and sand or gravel deposits. The size of the total reserve is confidential, but are estimates often in hundreds of millions of tons.

However, a number of other critical minerals used in semiconductor and battery technologies are less present in Ukraine, but are also valuable. Zinc appears in deposits with other metals such as lead, gold, silver and copper. Gallium and Germanium are by -products from other ores – zinc for gallium, coal for Germanium. Nickel and cobalt can be found in Ultramafic Rock, whereby Nickel is rich.

At the beginning of 2025, no figures were available for the reserves of these elements of Ukraine, with the exception of zinc, the reserves of which were estimated at around 6.1 million tons, which brought Ukraine to the top 10 nations.

Critical minerals that are not yet dismantled –

Geologists have potentially identified significant volumes in Ukraine of three other types of critical minerals that are important for energy, military and other uses: lithium, rare -dated metals and scandium.

None of them had been dismantled there in early 2025, although a lithium deposit was licensed For commercial extraction.

The greatest potential lithium reserves exist at three locations in the southern centers and southeastern Ukrainian shield, where ore quality is considered moderate to good. How much lithium these reserves keep remains confidential, but technical reports indicate that it lies in the order of 160 million tons and 1.6 million to 3 million tons of lithium oxide. If most of it could be restored in a profitable way, Ukraine would bring this to the top 5 nations for lithium.

Smaller volumes of Tantal and NiobThese reserves were also identified in steel alloys and technology. Most of the Ukrainian lithium appear as a petalite, which, in contrast to the other main lithium -Mineral, requires more expensive processing.

It is known that rare elements exist in Ukraine At several locations of the volcanic origin and in connection with uranium in the southern central part of the Ukrainian shield. These have not been developed, although the sampling at some locations has reported commercial potential, while other locations appear less viable.

Rare earth elements that are available in different quantities in these areas according to superior magnets and electronics – neodymium, praseodym, terbium and dyprosium. Other critical minerals are associated with these deposits, especially zirconium, tantalum and niob, in indefinite, but potentially significant amounts.

Finally, Scandium, which is used in aluminum alloys for aerospace components, was identified as a by-product of the processing of titanism. The Scandium of Ukraine does not seem to have been examined in detail in order to evaluate its commercial potential. However, world production, about 30 to 40 tons per year, is Forecast to grow quickly.

Mineral future of Ukraine

It is clear that Ukraine is equipped with valuable resources. However, the extraction requires roads and railways for access, infrastructure such as electricity and mining and processing technology, investments, technical expertise, environmental considerations and, above all, the termination of military conflicts.

These are the real determinants of the future promotion of Ukraine.

Federal data sets began Disappear from a public perspective On January 31, 2025 in response to Executive Order of President Donald Trump. Among these were the centers for the control of diseases and prevention Youth risk behavior surveywhat the respondents asks about their gender identity and sexual orientation and pursues behaviors such as smoking and drug use; CDC HIV data set; and CDC and agency for poisonous substances and disease register Environmental equity indexpursued the pollution in communities and Social weakness indexidentified the communities with high risk of diseases and disabilities.

The collection of data on monitoring public health has never been politically neutral. It has always reflected ideas on individual rights. With our colleagues James Colgrove and Daniel WolfePresent We have written about The History and ethics of surveillance. Despite controversy, it remains the basic public health instrument.

Monitoring usually includes the persecution of people with diseases with names for the purpose of direct effect, including isolation, quarantine and treatment. It enables health officials to identify environmental threats and evaluate treatments. It enables governments to lead prevention and treatment resources in which they are most needed whether a region or a group with the highest risk is required. Up to the early 20th century, civil servants of the public health system argued that they worked without surveillance “In the darkness of ignorance“And” could just as well hunt birds by shooting into every green bush. “

Three important controversy in the history of public health underline what is at stake with the recording and maintenance of this information.

Tuberculosis – doctors oppose the share of names

The collection of tuberculosis data provided the basic blueprint for monitoring public health.

Debates about tuberculosis The reporting began in the late 19th century, when bacterial infection was not renamed the elite disease, but the urban arms. New York City was the first in the country to ask doctors to report the names of TB patients to remedy them Main cause of death Both in the city and in the USA

The medical community opposed the monitoring of tuberculosis bitterly. A prominent New York surgeon argued that surveillance was “presenting” one “dictatorial … intervention”The health department that threatened to rob doctors of their patients.

But most people were not under the care of a private doctor, and the monitoring of tuberculosis was a way to ensure that the poor migration background living in the rent areas in the rent areas were isolated over clinics, food and, if necessary, if necessary. Despite the attempts by the doctors to kill these efforts, there was no public outcry to pursue “The Great White Pest” despite extensive, sensational reporting on controversy in the popular press.

HIV/AIDS – resistant patients at the top

Debates about TB monitoring, which developed in a time when both public health and medicine were very paternalistic and authoritarian: doctors of the health department or private Doctors made medical decisionsno patients.

This changed with the AIDS epidemic, the first major threat from infectious diseases in more than one generation. AIDS arrived When American politics took a sharp conservative turn with the election of President Ronald Reagan. When it was possible in 1985 to test for HIV, the virus that causes the AIDSThe view of a named surveillance triggered deep fears of stigma and discrimination.

The view of reporting the names of those with HIV prompted a gay activist to explain. “First comes the national registerThen come to the Boxcars, then come the camps for people with AIDS. “The supporters of gay rights that prioritized privacy rejected the HIV monitoring as a threat.

An alliance of the beginners of gay rights and lawyers for bourgeois freedoms was initially able to prevent health departments from carrying out the HIV monitoring. But by the end of the 1980s there was growing pressure to return HIV/AIDS. “The medical mainstreamMeans that it could be treated therapeutically like other chronic diseases. When effective treatment was available in the nineties, the opposition and all 50 countries that needed named reporting faded.

Cancer patients require to be counted

When reporting about TB and HIV/AIDS began as a history of resistance, the story was very different when it came about Cancer reporting that has stayed behind Far behind the monitoring of infectious diseases.

According to the movements of the environment and women, citizen activists, mothers of children with birth defects and Women with breast cancer was alerted about the risk of cancer associated with pesticides or industrial pollutants. Women with cancer claimed one “Right to be counted. “” Although the National Cancer Act of 1971 Director of the National Cancer Institute to “Collect, analyze and spread All data that is useful in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer ”, 10 countries still had no registers in the 1980s.

Vermonts Bernie Sanders, at that time an independent member of the US representative house, asked for a program financed by the federal government Collect data about cancer In every state. Talk to support his bill Sanders repeated in 1992 Called communities to know right: “We have to know the age of the people who come to cancer. We need to know where they live. We need to know the kind of work they do. We need your racist and ethnic background. “

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xitw1ukoxc4

President George HW Bush signed the Change of cancer registrationwho commissioned cancer monitoring in 1992 to the law. But it was it Only in 2000 that all states established cancer register.

Monitoring is fundamental to public health

Two important lessons have been created in the broader history of surveillance.

First, despite some battles, the communities viewed surveillance more often than their interests.

Second, the system of monitoring public health in the United States remains a underfunded patchwork. The Pew Environmental Health Commission Calling as birth defect “Unfortunately inadequate. “” In 1972 the US House Committee for state operations described the monitoring of occupational diseases as “70 years behind the surveillance and counting of infectious diseases”. In 2010 we observed ourselves that it was now “A century behind and counts. “”

The extent of the changes that the Trump management has planned for federal data systems and data records is unclear. By A Federal Court decisionThe most important monitoring systems and data records for public health are again online. But the landing pages for both Social weakness index and the Youth risk behavior survey Show a restriction in politics than in science that “all information on this page is extremely imprecise and separated from the unchangeable biological reality that there are two genders, male and female”.

Systems can be compromised if data records are scrubbed by important variables that enable public health measures with populations with the highest risk, or are or are removed from the public. Communities cannot affect what they cannot count.

Lemon beams are valued for their lively sweetness, but the bright acidity of lemon juice can overwhelm other nuanced flavors and read as a small one note.

In our book “Milk Street Bakes” we bring the sunny dessert by involving a small measure of fruity, hearty olive oil in both pudding and crust. If you have a bottle of the top fleece oil, this is the time to use it, even though high -quality supermarket brands also work well. Use only the olive oil outside of the virgery that has far more character than sophisticated regular and light olive oils.

Using egg yolk in addition to whole eggs increases both wealth and color. Do not whisk the eggs and the sugar violently when the filling is produced, or the mixture is ventilated, which leads to a defined surface on the baked rods. Careful and only until the eggs and the sugar are combined. In order to incorporate the flour and liquids into the fill base, we prefer to stir with a silicone spatula to avoid additional ventilation.

Buttery pistachios and fragrant lemon peel are mixed into the shortbread base and offer citrus and nutty notes. With their subtle sweetness and their lively green color, raw pistachios are worth. If you cannot find them, the bars are still delicious with roasted pistachios – make sure that they are not salted.

A small heavy cream in the lemon filling, which fill all hard, brassing notes and give a smooth, round wealth. The poles last well for up to three days at room temperature. Let the bars cool completely for the cleanest cuts before cutting. Dust dust with powdered sugar shortly before serving, otherwise the sugar will dissolve.

Makes 24 bars

For the crust:
113 grams (8 tablespoons) cold salted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes, plus soft butter for the pan
145 grams (1 cup) raw pistachios (see top note)
1 tablespoon of grated lemon peel
195 grams (1½ cups) all -purpose flour
161 grams (¾ cup) white sugar
¾ teaspoon of table salt
2 tablespoons of extraviregated olive oil
1 large protein, beaten

To fill and finish:
5 large eggs and 3 large egg yolks
375 grams (1 ¾ cups) white sugar
1 tablespoon of grated lemon peel and 1 cup of lemon juice
33 grams (¼ cup) all -purpose flour
¼ teaspoon of table salt
⅓ cup of heavy cream
3 tablespoons of extraviregated olive oil
Sugar powder to serve

To make the crust, butter a 9 by 13 inch baking pan or glass baking pan. In a kitchen machine, edit the pistachios and lemon peel until they are finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Add flour, sugar and salt; Edit to well combined, 10 to 20 seconds. Scratch the bowl and pulsate a few times in your pulse to make sure that there are no dry, floury stains left. Spread the butter over the mixture and drizzle the oil and then process it up to 45 to 60 seconds of the same, evenly moistened lumps.

Crumble the dough into the prepared pan and evenly scatter the bits. Press your fingers into an even layer. Brush slightly with the leaked protein and discovered for about 30 minutes until they are cold and firm. In the meantime, heat the oven to 350 ° F with a rack in the middle position.

Bake the crust up to golden brown, 22 to 26 minutes. While the crust bakes, make the filling. Mix the entire eggs and egg yolk, sugar and lemon peel in a large bowl; Whisk carefully until you are smooth (avoid the mixture). Add the flour and salt; Stir with a silicone spatula until they are combined. Stir in the lemon juice, cream and oil.

When the crust is finished, take the pan out of the oven. Carefully stir the filling into the recombination and then pour it onto the hot crust. When large bubbles rise to the surface, put them with a toothpick or spit. Back back to the oven and bake until the filling is set, 24 to 27 minutes. In the pan on a rust, for about 3 hours, let it cool completely.

With a sharp knife, cut the rods in the longitudinal direction into a quarter, then in sixth and generate 24 squares. Take out the pan with a staggered spatula. Dust with powdered sugar shortly before serving dust.

Washington – As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised an economic “boom like no other”.

But eight weeks after his presidency is Trump Wean to rule out a recession – A striking change in the sound and the message for a man who rode widespread economic dissatisfaction with the White House by promising “making America affordable again”.

His comments come when the stock market fell – the S&P 500 fell back by 2.7% on Monday after they had dropped by 3.1% last week – and the managing directors are frightened by uncertainty about its tariffs. Even some Republicans who fear retaliation when they cross Trump have started to make concerns about his taxes.

The moment is a fundamental challenge for Trump, a showman who makes absolute and comprehensive promises that inevitably encounter the reality of governance.

The economy, which Trump inherited, was in a solid form, with low unemployment, moderate growth and an inflation rate, which is still higher than the Federal Reserve, but had decreased considerably. But the uncertainty that his guidelines were injected into the prospects is a terrifying contrast to the picture that Trump painted on the campaign path.

“We will start a new era of increasing income,” said Trump in October at a rally. “Spring wealth. Millions of new jobs and a booming middle class. We will boom as if we have never drilled before. “

This vow of creating an economic boom has become conflict with the most popular economic instrument of the president: tariffs. He also promised this during the campaign and, as economists warned, the main drivers of the cloudy economic outlook in the country. Forecasts by JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs say that a recession has become more likely next year due to Trump’s tariffs.

So far, the president seems to try to reduce expectations. In an interview that was broadcast on Fox News on Sunday, Trump was decreased when he asked Maria Bartiromo if he was expecting a recession this year.

“I hate to predict such things,” he said. “There is a time of transition, because what we do is very big. We bring prosperity back to America. That is a big deal. And there are always periods of, it takes a little. It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us. “

In his speech last week, Trump admitted to a joint congress meeting that would cause tariffs “a little disorder”. But he said: “We agree. It won’t be much. “

Even if the markets are falling, Revolt expresses the world leaders and the managing directors, Trump has made it clear that he has no plans to shift his tariff strategy. He imposed broad tariffs in Canada, Mexico and China last week and swore to get more in front of the next month. But Trump, who has one People to change positions from a moodConversely, a few tariffs and could do this again.

“Look, our country has been torn down for many decades for many decades, and we are no longer torn down,” said Trump in Fox News.

Trump, who called the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange in December monitor the stock exchange. In his first term, he regularly pointed out a wealthy stock market as proof of his success. Many managing directors gathered behind Trump’s campaign because they were convinced that he would prioritize their economic interests, but now priority Some managing directors And Small business owner complain about the economic pain that will bring his tariffs. The president can hear these concerns directly from the top CEOs if he meets with members of the Business Roundtable on Tuesday.

On Monday, when the stock exchange had its worst day since December, the White House official tried to redirect the conversation.

“Since President Trump was elected, the industry leaders have reacted to the American first economic agenda of Zöllen, Deregulation of President Trump and unleashing American energy with trillions of investment obligations that create thousands of new jobs,” said Kush Desai, a spokesman for the White House. “President Trump delivered historical work, wages and investment growth in his first term in office and will do so again in his second term.”

In the past few days, Trump’s top consultant has tried to calm the markets and managing directors. Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick said on Sunday that there was no chance of recession. Finance Minister Scott Bessent was not so relentless and said on Friday that there would be a “natural adaptation” because the economy goes through the support of the state spending.

“The full press of the President and his surrogacy this weekend signals that they are strongly under pressure from the people they hear-the share market, the Republican legislator and the managing directors,” said Kate Kalutkiewicz, Senior Managing Director at McLarty Associates, an advisory company.

Kalutkiewicz, who worked in the first Trump office in the National Economic Council, said that the president and his adjutants’ comments indicate that they do not plan to change the course in response to the growing chorus.

Stephen Moore, an economist at the Heritage Foundation, which is a former Trump former business advisor, said the topic of the president was the time. Moore said Trump should have been waiting for the congress to pass tax cuts to introduce tariffs.

“Let’s boom the economy again and then talk about tariffs,” he said. “I think there must be a certain priority shift.”

Senator Ron Wyden, D-ORE., Who is the ranking member of the Senate Financing Committee, said that the Trump government’s approach to tariffs was “poison” for the US economy.
