In anticipating the near future of world trade, and aside from
reality, basic rationalism could find some positivity in the
presidency of Donald Trump. Why not, he is a business tycoon who
could possess the keys to rescuing the plunging markets and
economies. Moreover, he personally owns businesses in numerous
countries around the globe. So, propelling global economy might be
in his personal interest!.
Reality, however, hits hard. His exclusionary tone was also
sound in his speech on global economy during his campaign. He just
wanted to restrict the entry of foreign objects to the US, humans
and products!.
In an interview with "Meet the Press" on NBC, back in
July 2016, he said "The World Trade Organization is a
disaster". He also added that he would pull the US out if his
restrective measures were found to violate the WTO rules, and
further threatened to withdraw from the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TTP).
