Analysis Summary:

The article is mostly accurate, reporting the 0.3% contraction of the US economy in the first quarter. The claim about the economic shrinkage and its duration is supported by multiple sources. However, the headline's direct attribution to "Trump trade wars" introduces a potential bias, as the sources don't explicitly state this as the sole cause.
