World Bank Says U.S. Economic Growth to Halve This Year


Listen Later

P.M. Edition for June 10. A new report out from the World Bank says that the U.S. economy this year will slow to half of its 2024 growth rate, with global economic growth slowing more modestly. WSJ economics editor Paul Hannon talks about the drivers of the slowdown, and how it may change. Plus, as markets reeled in the days after President Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs, lawmakers and their families traded stocks heavily, according to a WSJ analysis. We hear from Katy Stech Ferek, who covers Congress for the Journal, about how the rules around trades like these could change in the future. And we exclusively report that U.S. government agencies tracked Elon Musk’s foreign visitors in 2022 and 2023. Alex Ossola hosts.
