Tariffs, trade wars, and transformation: The next four years of Trump
A red wave swept over the USA on 5 November 2024 as the Republican Party under former president Donald Trump won the presidential race and claimed a majority in both houses of Congress. If Trump’s campaign rhetoric is to be believed, then his return to the White House will bring with it a renewed commitment to protectionism, an upheaval of trade norms, and significant implications for economies worldwide. To discuss these potential implications and explore how a second Trump presidency will reshape global trade, finance, and geopolitical dynamics, Trade Finance Global spoke with Rebecca Harding, Economist at Rebeccanomics; Robert Besseling, CEO at Pangea Risk; Alisa DiCaprio, former Chief Economist at R3; and Simon Everett, Trade Policy Expert on the day the results were announced. https://www.tradefinanceglobal.com/posts/podcast-s2-e29-tariffs-trade-wars-transformation-next-4-yrs-trump/
