21-Feb-2026

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told "The Will Cain Show" on Fox News on Friday that he believed the U.S. economy could grow by at least 3.5% in 2026. Bessent blamed the sharply lower growth of 1.4% in gross domestic product reported in the fourth quarter on a partial government shutdown and high write-offs of losses by U.S. automakers, saying GDP growth could have been 100 to 200 basis points higher.
