Will Trumponomics Shrink or Expand U.S. Influence in the Global South?
A discussion of President Trump's economic approach to the Global South.

Very quickly after taking office, the Trump administration has proposed a dizzying range of economic policy initiatives, many of which will likely have a deep impact on developing countries. The threat of tariffs as a broad-spectrum tool to achieve both trade and non-trade goals has rightly taken center stage in this discussion, but many states in the Global South are also exposed to bilateral disagreements with the US over industrial policy strategies, as well as to the negative global impacts from US fiscal and monetary policy shifts. 

In this webinar, we will be discussing the motivations behind Washington’s actions, how states in the Global South might be affected by them, and the resulting impact on the US economy and on America’s global influence.
