Hey everyone! A recent online poll of around 2,000 adults in the US and UK is stirring up global trade chatter. Many respondents expressed concerns that President Donald Trump’s unpredictable approach might derail emerging trade deals. In fact, only 44% of Americans and less than one-third of Britons believe he will stick to the deal’s terms.
More than 47% of American participants even flagged his unpredictability as the top barrier in negotiations—raising eyebrows among his own supporters, too. What’s really catching the eye is that a significant portion of young Britons, especially those under 34, are leaning towards China as a more reliable partner. Experts like Scott Lincicome from the Cato Institute point out that China’s steady, non-aggressive stance makes it a compelling option in today’s fast-shifting trade landscape.
This trend reflects broader global shifts that resonate with our tech-savvy, socially conscious community, especially in South and Southeast Asia. As you navigate your own fast-paced lives and keep an eye on emerging tech, lifestyle, and global trends, it’s interesting to see how these international dynamics might mirror local experiences in trust, reliability, and innovation. What do you think about these views?
