“絕對不是。”當被問及美國人是否應該為低迷做準備時，他在周日的《聚會》媒體上說。

U.S. Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick is confident that the U.S. will avert a recession despite concerns from Wall Street and crypto traders, who are bracing for a slowdown signaled by Bitcoin's price fall and layoff activity.

美國財政部長霍華德·盧特尼克（Howard Lutnick）確信，儘管華爾街和加密貨幣商人的擔憂，美國將避免衰退，他們正在為比特幣的價格下跌和裁員活動的速度表達了信號。

"Absolutely not," he said on a Sunday edition of Meet the Press when asked if Americans should prepare for a downturn.

“絕對不是。”當被問及美國人是否應該為低迷做準備時，他在周日版的《見面》媒體上說。

"There's going to be no recession in America. It's like the same people who thought Donald Trump wasn't a winner a year ago. Donald Trump is a winner. He's going to win for the American people."

“在美國不會有衰退。這就像一年前唐納德·特朗普不是贏家的人一樣。唐納德·特朗普是贏家。他將為美國人民贏得勝利。”

A recession is two consecutive quarters of economic contraction, caused by imbalances from external or internal factors, or combination of both.

經濟衰退是由外部或內部因素或兩者組合的失衡引起的連續兩個經濟收縮。

"President is on it and he is powerful on it, and he is not going to take his foot off the gas." These tariffs are part of a drug war. Canada and Mexico must shut down the flow of fentanyl across our border and China must stop subsidizing the production. The Trump Administration… pic.twitter.com/nY9x7bx7Wu

“總統在上面，他對此很強大，他不會把腳從汽油中移開。”這些關稅是毒品戰爭的一部分。加拿大和墨西哥必須關閉芬太尼在我們邊界的流動，中國必須停止補貼生產。特朗普政府…pic.twitter.com/ny9x7bx7wu

This argument contradicts comments made by the President earlier, who didn't rule out a recession, calling it part of a transition.

這一論點與早期總統發表的評論相矛盾，後者沒有排除經濟衰退，稱其為過渡的一部分。

Lutnick argued that Trump's tariff strategy will force other countries to lower their trade barriers, unleashing American growth and driving $1.3 trillion in new investment.

盧特尼克（Lutnick）辯稱，特朗普的關稅策略將迫使其他國家降低其貿易障礙，釋放美國的增長，並驅動1.3萬億美元的新投資。

“We’re going to unleash America out to the world,” he said in response to warnings from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs about a tariff-induced recession. “You are going to see over the next two years the greatest set of growth coming from America.”

他在回應摩根大通和高盛關於關稅引起的衰退的警告時說：“我們將向世界釋放美國。” “您將在接下來的兩年中看到美國最大的增長。”

While Lutnick acknowledged that tariffs could make foreign goods more expensive, he framed them as part of a broader effort to cut the deficit and lower borrowing costs.

儘管盧特尼克（Lutnick）承認關稅可以使外國商品更加昂貴，但他將其構成了構架，這是削減赤字和降低借貸成本的更廣泛努力的一部分。

“When you balance the budget… you drive interest rates down 150 basis points. Mortgages come smashing down. The cost of your home will come smashing down," he said.

“當您平衡預算時……您將利率下降150個基點。抵押降低。您的房屋費用將粉碎。”他說。

Crypto traders, however, don't seem to have the same optimism. Bitcoin (BTC) fell 7% on Sunday, dropping to $80,000 and nearing its 2025 low of $78,000.

但是，加密交易者似乎並沒有相同的樂觀情緒。比特幣（BTC）週日下降了7％，跌至80,000美元，接近其2025年的78,000美元。

Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP (XRP) followed, while meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA) tumbled nearly 12%.

以太（ETH），solana（sol）和XRP（XRP），而模因硬幣（例如Dogecoin（Doge）和Cardano（Ada））跌倒了近12％。
