Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says 'people are overreacting a bit' to Trump's policies

Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin stated that he believes "people are overreacting a bit" to the current Trump administration's policies regarding the economy.
Mnuchin mentioned on CNBC that he does not see signs of an imminent economic slowdown and stated, "I don't think the outlook looks like we're going to have a recession."
Concerns over tariffs and trade policies have led to decreased confidence among consumers and small business owners, with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta projecting a contraction for the first quarter.
The stock market has been experiencing volatility, with the S&P 500 down 9.4% from its peak, and Mnuchin commented that such corrections should not indicate economic trouble.
