The US population growth is projected to be slower than previously estimated, reaching 364 million in 30 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). This revised projection is attributed to President Trump's immigration policies, including mass deportations, and an aging population. The CBO notes that without immigration, the US population would begin to shrink by 2030, impacting the labor force and tax revenues for programs like Social Security and Medicare.
