Trump or Harris? A U.S. election special with Capital Group
Join Jock Glover, Strategic Relationships Director at Square Mile for a special episode of Behind the Screens with John Emerson, Vice Chair of Capital Group International and former U.S. Ambassador to Germany. John brings over two decades of experience advising on global geopolitics, having worked under two U.S. Presidents and served as ambassador during a pivotal time in transatlantic relations.
In this episode, we shift from our usual investment discussions to explore the geopolitical landscape, focusing on the upcoming U.S. election and its potential global implications. John will share insights on how both candidates are viewed, the possible effects of their policies, and the broader impact on the global economy and geopolitical stability.
Don't have time to listen to the full episode, jump to your favourite part:
- 01:25: How are both candidates viewed domestically in this unusual US election?
- 05:53: How might the policies of each candidate influence voters? What could sway them to vote Democrat or Republican?
- 14:05: Is the American economy starting to take off again?
- 20:56: What do you think either a Harris or Trump administration would do next?
- 26:17: Is there a risk that if Russia makes gains, NATO might react too late due to lack of investment, giving Russia room to expand its influence?
- 30:41: How significant is the immigration issue in America?
- 33:44: Will the arrival of either Harris or Trump impact the global economy; is the US still the key driver of global growth?
- 38:41: Having worked for both the Clinton and Obama administrations, how do you see the role of social media in the increasing polarisation of politics?
- 45:56: Where do you think the election will land?
