Donald Trump’s success in the United States presidential race has the potential to shift economic and geopolitical dynamics in Asia, with the US relationship with China being a key driver of this shift. The status quo on trade relations, currency, climate change, and regional nuclear armaments may now be renegotiated. Join us as two Goldman Sachs experts share their views on the likely impacts which can be discerned at this stage in the transition of power to the 45th President of the United States.
We invite Andrew Tilton (chief Asia Pacific economist at Goldman Sachs) and Alasdair Share (Security Director at Goldman Sachs Asia-Pacific ) to discuss.
