A bleak report released Friday showed the U.S. economy under the Trump administration grew by less than 1% last fall, a “big downgrade” from economists’ earlier projections and a troubling sign for the months ahead, NBC News reported.
From October to late December last year – 2025’s fourth quarter – the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew by just 0.7%, exactly half of what the federal government had first estimated, and far below economists’ expectations. For comparison, the third quarter of 2025 saw 4.4% GDP growth, and the second quarter, 3.8%.
The cause for the slow GDP growth – which NBC News described as “sluggish” – was multifaceted, the outlet reported. Last year’s 43-day government shutdown – which “clobbered” federal spending – was named responsible for at least 1.16 percentage points in reduced GDP growth.
The Trump administration’s ongoing military operation against Iran was also named for its impact on oil prices – which have surged to levels not seen since 2022 – and for having “clouded the economic outlook.”
Coupled with abysmal job numbers — the Department of Labor's most recent report showed the "weakest hiring outside recession years since 2002" — the latest GDP growth figures have left economists "puzzling" over where the U.S. economy will be in the months ahead.Market Opportunity

It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry.
