<h1>US Faces Economic Strain: Tariffs, Job Cuts, and Spending Freezes Raise Recession Fears Amid Trade War Tensions</h1> Economic concerns are rising in the US as President Trump enacts tariffs, workforce reductions, and spending freezes. While the unemployment rate is at 4.1% with 151,000 jobs added in February, there is a significant increase in part-time workers due to economic reasons. The leisure and hospitality sectors lost 16,000 jobs, and federal payrolls decreased by 10,000. The economic policy uncertainty index has surged by 41%, signaling potential recession risks. Trump's tariffs have sparked a trade war with several countries, raising fears of higher inflation and slower economic growth. The administration argues that these measures will eventually boost domestic manufacturing jobs.
