One Year into Trump’s Presidency, Has Asia Been Left Behind?
From whether his unpredictability has actually been good for Asia, to his stance on trade, Insight looks at US President Donald Trump’s first year in the Oval Office.
S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies dean Joseph Liow agrees that the current administration – though not so much Mr Trump himself – recognises Asia’s importance to the US, in terms of trade, economics as well as security.
It’s quite bewildering to imagine that serious American thinkers can persuade themselves that Asia has no part in America’s economic future.
“That’s just unimaginable, and to be fair, I don’t think a lot of people think that way in the US,” Professor Liow told Insight.
