What are the Implications of the US Election for Asia?
In partnership with
President Joe Biden’s exit from the US election has upended predictions and direction of US politics and policy. While the Biden administration has reaffirmed ties with US allies and strengthened multilateral engagement across APAC, it is hard to predict how a second Donald Trump term would approach these relationships, or whether Kamala Harris would maintain her predecessor’s policies. The political and economic ramifications for Asia as a whole, for individual nations and for China in particular, remain uncertain.
Will the US pursue a combative or co-operative approach to China in trade and diplomacy? Will further tariffs be introduced? How will this affect supply chains? How will countries such as South Korea and Japan, whose supply chains are deeply integrated with both the US and China, be affected? What does this mean for different critical industries? What stance will the US take in terms of security, particularly regarding rising tensions around North Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines? How will Narendra Modi’s government in India respond to a Trump or Harris presidency, and an increasingly emboldened China under Xi Jinping?
This webinar, hosted by the Financial Times, will examine the far-reaching implications for Asia of the US presidential election. A panel of experts will discuss the possible economic and political consequences, with an emphasis on how the contest will shape financial markets and global trade.
