The United States is giving Donald Trump another chance. The rest of the world now anxiously waits for what comes next.
Share markets shot up on Donald Trump’s win. But economists warn his policies will fuel domestic inflation and a costly global trade war – potentially with Australia . Concerns have also been raised about Trump’s foreign policy agenda and his impact on the war in the Middle East and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese congratulated the president-elect and emphasised the “importance of the alliance”, while this week launching new domestic proposals on student debt and social media harm. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is drawing comparisons between Trump’s victory and local unrest around cost-of-living pressures, ahead of a federal election next year.
Can the PM learn from the Democrat’s loss in the US and regain public support ahead of an election campaign? How will Australia’s political parties appeal to the working class amid the Qantas lounge debacle? And what does a Trump White House mean for trade, security and the economy?
