Dalio, who accurately predicted the 2008 financial crisis, pointed to President Trump\u2019s aggressive tariff policies as a major destabilizing force.<br \/>Dalio criticized the chaotic implementation of Trump\u2019s tariffs, aimed at boosting U.S. manufacturing and jobs, likening their impact to \u201cthrowing rocks into the production system.\u201d He emphasized that the difference between a \u201cstable\u201d and \u201cdisruptive\u201d approach to tariffs could determine whether the economy weathers the storm or plunges into chaos. <br \/>Global markets have been rattled in recent weeks by Trump\u2019s tariff offensive, with fears mounting of an economic downturn. Last week, Trump announced a 90-day pause on most \u201creciprocal\u201d tariffs, sparing all but those on China, which have surged to at least 145%. Despite the pause, Goldman Sachs economists peg the odds of a U.S. recession within the next year at 45%, a downgrade from their earlier prediction of a recession as the most likely outcome.<br \/>The warning comes as the U.S., the world\u2019s largest economy, faces growing uncertainty. A recession, defined as two or more consecutive quarters of negative economic growth, could have far-reaching consequences. Dalio\u2019s concerns echo a rising chorus of experts urging caution as the nation navigates this critical juncture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, one of the world\u2019s largest hedge funds, recently issued a stark warning&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71594,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[20391,32,2792,12549,49,978,35751,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-71593","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-bridgewater-associates","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-goldman-sachs","11":"tag-ray-dalio","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-us","14":"tag-us-recession","15":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114444852579535048","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
