The US economy expanded at a 4.3% annualized rate in Q3 2024, surpassing the forecast of 3.2% and outperforming Q2’s 3.8% growth. Donald Trump praised the results on Truth Social, attributing the strong performance to government and tariff policies, robust consumption, higher net exports, a reduced trade deficit, and the absence of inflationary pressures. This marked the fastest growth in two years, reinforcing continued economic resilience.
