Cambridge analysts call out challenges after Trump wins US presidential election
Cambridge Judge Business School academics- Michael Kitson, David Reiner and Thomas Roulet- comment on the US Presidential election result in which Donald Trump was elected the next US President.
“The American electorate has made its choice. But this decision will herald a world economy leaning toward greater protectionism – which will lead to lower incomes and higher prices in many countries including the UK,” Michael Kitson said.
“The election of Donald Trump is undoubtedly a major setback for global climate action and the only question is just how catastrophic the impact will be,” David Reiner comments.
“As before, I fear that some aspects of Trump’s strategy will be copied – but improved – by future populists who can balance divisive positioning that attract a hardcore base with broader stances that attract a wider spectrum of support,” Thomas Roulet said.
