The U.S. economy slowed to an annualized growth rate of 1.5 percent in the second quarter, down from 2.1 percent in the first quarter, due to President Trump's conflict with Iran. The slowdown was driven by disruptions in energy markets, fractured supply chains, and increased everyday costs. Consumer confidence has dropped as Americans face rising gasoline prices, with regular gasoline averaging $4.22 a gallon in the second quarter. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, acknowledging no quick fix to ease living costs. Despite these economic indicators, Trump remains focused on expanding the war in Iran.
