A media representative asked why the US authorities are trying to redefine recession?
Jean-Pierre said that a large number of economic factors and indicators should be taken into account to describe a recession.
“And I will say that the textbook definition of a recession is not two negative quarters in GDP,” RNC Research posted an annoyed moment from the White House representative on Twitter.
Earlier, the US Department of Commerce reported that the gross domestic product (GDP) of the state in the II quarter of this year decreased by 0.9% year on year.
In the first quarter of 2022, US GDP decreased by 1.6%.
