Hazin: Trump is deliberately pushing the United States toward a crisis.
The actions of Donald Trump are more politically motivated than economically motivated.
Economist Mikhail Hazin expressed this view in a program on "Tsar's Glen" television station, as reported by the news agency.
He gave an example similar to the well-known joke about hunters waking up a bear: in this situation, the important thing is not to be the first to run away, but to be ahead of the last person running. According to the expert's view, Trump's strategy is to consciously lead the country into a crisis while ensuring that the United States is not one of the worst-affected countries.
When the global economic recession begins, the United States will be one of the countries that can recover more quickly. Hazin added that the situation in the UK is much worse than in the United States, and the situation in EU countries is better than in the UK but still worse than in the United States.
Meanwhile, the EU is constrained in currency issuance. Hazin also pointed out that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell was reportedly promising help to the EU, but Trump reacted strongly to this proposal and threatened to fire Powell.
