Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned the U.S. economy could enter a "detox period" as the administration shifts from robust government spending.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. economy may be “starting to roll a bit,” as data suggests last year’s red-hot economy is slowing. Bessent said the Trump administration’s moves to transition the economy to one that emphasizes private spending over public spending may require a “detox” period.
