Tariffs, Trade Wars, and Trump 2.0! Tina Fordham on Bloomberg

I followed an emotional but gracious in defeat, Kamala Harris last night on Bloomberg TV in the US after she conceded the election “but not the fight” As I expected, she said she’d work with President Elect Trump on a smooth transition and transfer of power, and now we have to see how magnanimous trump can be in victory. What Trump has pulled off is something remarkable. CEO clients are asking lots of questions about what his first moves will be on trade and tariffs. We talked about why there is heightened geopolitical risk and this is really because if Putin is able to retain territory he has taken by force, it could give other countries the impetus to do the same. We also discussed Trump’s close relationship with Netanyahu and how countries such a Iran, didn’t get the result they were hoping for.
