Live updates: Trump says he hates to ‘predict things like that’ when asked if he expects a recession

House Republicans on Saturday unveiled a 99-page, six-month stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown and increase defense funding while seeking cuts for nondefense programs, which will likely be a main focus of this week’s Sunday shows.

Plus, President Trump’s trade war with the U.S.’s top trading partners has intensified this week.

Trump faced a slew of questions about the economic ripple effects of his tariff policy during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, including whether he worried about a looming recession for the U.S. economy.

“I hate to predict things like that,” Trump told Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” when asked if he expected a recession this year. “There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big. We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing. And there are always periods of — it takes a little time. It takes a little time. But I think it should be great for us. I mean, I think it should be great.”

The president has also said he is weighing imposing additional sanctions on Russia to pressure the Kremlin to partake in peace negotiations. However, Trump stated earlier this week that he is having a tougher time dealing with Ukraine. 

Former White House adviser on Russia, Fiona Hill, is slated to appear on CBS’s “Face the Nation” where she will likely discuss the latest back-and-forth between Washington and Kyiv and the potential meeting between U.S. and Ukrainian officials next week in Saudi Arabia. 

Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.) was one of 10 House Democrats who voted on Thursday to censure fellow Democratic Rep. Al Green (Texas), two days after the Texas lawmaker heckled Trump during his Tuesday night address to a joint session of Congress. The California Democrat defended his vote, saying his fellow Democrat’s disruption during Trump’s address to Congress was a “distraction” from the party’s strategy.

In an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday,” anchor Chris Stirewalt asked Bera what he would say to Democrats who argue that the president “won’t play by the rules,” so “Democrats shouldn’t have to either.”

“I’d say we need radical civility,” Bera responded. “We need to stand up for the American people.”
