IMF lowers forecast for USA economic growth

[Centrista]

The US economy is expected to grow this much:
Year 2018: 2.9%
Year 2019: 2.5%

The International Monetary Fund this week downgraded its forecast of U.S. growth, which it now predicts will be 2.5 percent next year. The IMF cited Trump’s tariffs and rising interest rates. It expects 2.9 percent U.S. growth this year.

As stocks tumble, the U.S. wonders: Is this economy as good as it gets?

The future is not looking great. Please discuss.
