President Donald Trump said on April 30 that people should “be patient” after the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter of 2025, saying it would take time for his tariffs to work.

Trump stated that his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, was responsible for the contraction and said that “our country will boom” economically, according to a post he made on Truth Social.
