Trump asserts that Kevin Warsh could achieve unprecedented U.S. economic growth, aiming far above historical averages and current GDP forecasts of 2.4%.
President Donald Trump has set a 15% U.S. economic growth target, claiming Federal Reserve chair nominee Kevin Warsh could deliver it. This figure is far above the 2025 growth forecast of 2.4% and significantly exceeds historical norms, as only a few times since the 1950s has GDP growth reached 15%. If appointed, Warsh would face significant pressure to meet this aggressive target, potentially requiring extraordinary policy measures.
