WASHINGTON - There are "no guarantees" that the US economy would not face a recession during US President Donald Trump's tenure, said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview with NBC on Sunday.

When asked whether he could ensure no recession under the Trump administration, Bessent responded, "There are no guarantees. Who would have predicted COVID?"

Bessent, speaking to NBC's "Meet the Press," noted that the US government is working on robust policies, and there could be some adjustments in the economy.

He also dismissed concerns about a potential recession stemming from such adjustments, saying, "We are going to have a transition, and we are not going to have a crisis."
