Big worry for Trump: U.S. budget deficit explodes in February, surpassing $1 trillion in record-breaking year-to-date surge, raising concerns over unprecedented fiscal challenges

Government spending continues to exceed revenue, with a $1.15 trillion deficit for the year. Under former President Biden, the deficit increased dramatically.
