There will be individuals making an absolute killing out of this. Just like Brexit.

Not just individuals. Honestly I’m annoyed at the tone of press coverage. It’s not a “global trade war” unless we all start imposing tariffs on each other. If it’s just one country, even if it’s the world’s largest economy, it’s still unilateral and after some disruption others will fill the void.

I honestly think this is an opportunity for European and Asian businesses.

I'm fascinated by what countries like Vietnam do. The reliance on the US is likely to diminish, and an even better relationship with Europe could be built out of it

Yeah, I have a soft spot for Vietnam and sort of keep an eye on that relationship (whilst not being anything like a trade expert). I also wonder whether some countries decide to make changes to how they use the USD as a secondary currency.

Well they’re smart and agile but their politics are not great…
