"in the U.S." or "of the U.S."?
Dear teachers,
It would be appreciated if you could let me know which one is natural between the following two sentences:
(a) With the economic recession in the U.S., Korea's economic growth rate will drop below 4%.
(b) With the economic recession of the U.S., Korea's economic growth rate will drop below 4%.
Is thare any difference between "With the economic recession in the U.S." and "With the economic recession of the U.S."?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks and best regards,
David Kim
