The U.S. economy is currently an all in bet on AI. That is the space to target economic withdrawal.
92% of all economic growth came from a handful of tech giants the Magnificent 7 (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, Meta, Tesla).

Tip added on edit:
Check out Ex-Magnificent 7 ETFs: Invest directly in specialized funds such as the Defiance Large Cap Ex-Magnificent 7 ETF (XMAG), which completely removes these companies from the portfolio.
Sector Diversification: Reallocate funds to traditionally defensive sectors, including health care, utilities, and consumer staples.
