But based on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent\u2019s 3 percent GDP growth target, the economy is underperforming by half,\u201d the board wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year\u2019s tax bill and deregulation would be driving faster growth if not for Mr. Trump\u2019s border taxes that raise costs and uncertainty for business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s original sweeping tariff plans were struck down after the Supreme Court ruled in February they had been implemented illegally.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4628\">Obama\u2019s Foul-Mouthed Take on the Trumps Revealed in Secret Diary<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, the president announced a fresh wave of levies on imports from more than 80 countries last week, ranging from 10 percent to 12.5 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s deeply unpopular war in Iran has also helped stunt economic growth, with the conflict affecting areas such as gas prices and inflation.<\/p>\n<p>While the latest figures suggest the economy has been somewhat resilient during the war, economists note that conditions could\u2014and should\u2014be much stronger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an economy that\u2019s doing OK.
