President Donald Trump 's full-speed-ahead approach to making radical change has raised alarms in his Republican Party .

The concerns are particularly acute when it comes to the economy, with many economists projecting slower growth or a coming recession.

Those fears haven't deterred Trump from continuing to impose tariffs on foes and friends.

"There are worries," a person who has been involved in discussions about the economy with White House officials.
