The new Trump administration potentially means a period of uncertainty in the first few months which could lead to as yet unforeseen effects on markets globally.
One of the potential dramas on the horizon include a trade war between the US and Canada, not least because in recent days the leading candidate to replace Justin Trudeau has indicated that she will reciprocate if tariffs are hiked by Trump.
Another big unknown is how relations between Trump’s US-China relations will evolve, as this has swung from threats of an all out trade war to Trump declaring that he will sign an executive order to delay the ban on TikTok.
His threat of imposing punitive tariffs on goods from China threaten to disrupt the global supply of metals used in the tech sector, with potential knock-on effects for Silicon Valley behemoths.
As expected, his win in November started a rally on the markets with the stock markets and the dollar up.
Cryptocurrencies are expected to do well during Trump 2.0: Bitcoin hit a record peak just after the election and, after coming off the boil in recent weeks, the price is steadily rising once again.
Longer term, experts forecast a rosy outlook for the US economy but there are major geo-political uncertainties over Ukraine and Taiwan.
Sources in the Trump administration have indicated that a resolution on Ukraine is perhaps six months away and any move by China on Taiwan is likely to cause chaos in the technology sector.
Many organisations will be trying to read the runes but experts can help and booking a world-class speaker on geopolitics can help bring clarity to teams developing future strategies.
An expert geo politics speaker can have a lasting resonance on a workforce and can assist them to get ahead of the curve when looking at ways to grow a business.
Jack Hayes, founder and director of the Midlands-based Champions Speakers, said: “We have an unrivalled roster of world leaders and achievers from all walks of life who have amazing stories that have inspired others to go on to great things.
“We have speakers who are perfectly placed to explain what the new world order under President Trump could look like.
“A briefing from a world leading expert can help to illuminate areas that may affect a business and can help teams to spot advantages that can be positive for growth.”
