Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. debt and deficit problem worsened during Trump 's first month in office.

He says there are "no guarantees" there won't be a recession.

The S&P 500 on Thursday fell into a 10% correction from its February high as volatility spiked.

Trump 's pro-business policies will boost the market and economy over the long run, he said.
