The US population is projected to grow by 15 million in 30 years, a smaller estimate than in previous years, due to President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policies and an aging population, the Congressional Budget Office has said. The nonpartisan budget office projected that US population will be 364 million in 30 years, 2.2 per cent smaller than it had predicted at this time a year ago. In September, the office issued a revised demographics report that showed Trump's plans for mass deportations and other strict immigration measures would result in roughly 320,000 people removed from the United States over the next 10 years. The country's total population is projected to stop growing in 2056 and remain roughly the same size as in the previous year, the CBO said.
