here are no signs that the U.S. economy may be heading into a recession, according to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Speaking to CNBC on Sunday, the American official expressed nothing but optimism about the state of his country’s economy. That analysis comes despite a May jobs figure that came in significantly below expectations and increasing expectations that the Federal Reserve could opt to cut interest rates multiple times this year. “U.S. growth it still really the bright spot of the world,” Mnuchin told CNBC’s Nancy Hungerford.
