How Trump tariffs are clouding NZ's economic outlook
- Oregon's economy faces slower growth and a revenue shortfall of nearly $756 million for its two-year budget cycle ending 2027 due to tariff impacts and federal uncertainty.
- This fiscal challenge follows forecasts showing national growth shrinking from an expected 2% to about 0.8% in 2025, largely because of tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump.
