Is the US really heading into a recession?

During his election campaign last year, Donald Trump promised Americans he would usher in a new era of prosperity.

Now two months into his presidency, he's painting a slightly different picture.

He has warned that it will be hard to bring down prices and the public should be prepared for a "little disturbance" before he can bring back wealth to the US.

Meanwhile, analysts say the odds of a downturn are increasing, pointing to his policies.

So is Trump about to trigger a recession in the world's largest economy?
