LONDON, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Leading academic economists, in a survey conducted by the Financial Times (FT), have warned that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies and rapid push to shrink the federal government are expected to slow economic growth while driving up inflation, the FT reported on Tuesday.
Almost all economists in the survey agreed that "uncertainty around economic policy would dent growth, as consumers and businesses pull back on spending," according to the FT, which surveyed in partnership with the Clark Center at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
