Trump is a ‘transactional president’ but may not rock the boat on China, Standard Chartered CEO says
- SUMMARY
Trump won the Iowa caucus by a wide margin, making him the likely Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
During his previous term, he had a combative relationship with China, imposing tariffs and making threats.
However, Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters believes that if Trump returns to power, he’s likely to take a more transactional approach and avoid disrupting the economic relationship between the US and China.
Winters highlighted the recent engagement efforts of the Biden administration, such as high-level visits to China.
He believes these actions indicate a desire to stabilize the relationship.
He emphasized the importance of economic stability and the need to prevent unintended consequences or accidents that could worsen the situation.
Moreover, Winters expressed optimism about the Chinese economy’s long-term prospects despite its current challenges.
