However, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Commerce, such a figure has not been achieved since 1947, except immediately after the COVID-19 outbreak, and U.S. growth in the second quarter of this year was 1.5%, indicating a significant discrepancy with reality.

Donald Trump said the U.S. economy could reach growth rates of up to 20%, although recent data show much more moderate expansion and inflation still higher than the Federal Reserve's target.
