As President Elect Trump prepares to return to White House, new poll reveals the experts who can best predict what it means for Britain
Following the US presidential election, there are major questions about what Donald Trump’s shock landslide victory will mean for businesses and the global economy.
The president-elect will also have more power than during his previous presidency, as the Republicans have also taken control of the Senate.
With SpaceX founder Elon Musk being appointed to a cabinet post as well, there are many uncertainties on the road ahead.
Will a crackdown on US federal bureaucracy affect the functioning of government, and will Trump follow through on his threats to impose new trade tariffs?
There are big geo-political questions as well, not least over the conflict in Ukraine where Trump has suggested he will withdraw US military support.
The bond markets suggest that traders are expecting a swift resolution when the new US president assumes office early next year.
Trump, however, has already hit the ground running preparing for a transition, making a number of key appointments and putting in calls to world leaders.
Many organisations will be looking to experts to make sense of the latest developments and to try and paint what the world under Trump 2.0 will look like.
Jack Hayes, director of the Champions UK speakers agency, has assisted many organisations to develop strategies to impart valuable geopolitical insights to employees.
And he says booking a leading geopolitical speaker is one of the best ways to boost knowledge at what is an uncertain time.
He said: “Many companies will be looking for insights on what to expect in the coming months and we can help by organising events featuring some of the world’s leading experts on geo-politics.
“There’s no time to waste for those organisations who are looking to map out the possible implications of a Trump administration, on trade, on economic growth, and on conflicts around the world.”
