The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce is pleased to invite you to a webinar which will take place on Tuesday, 29 April.
During this webinar, Mr. Koen De Leus, Chief Economist – Economic Research at BNP Paribas Fortis, will speak about:
"How Trump is Making Europe Great Again"
Trump is single-handedly destroying the post-war liberal economic system. Even with import tariffs at just 10%, trade is regressing to 1930s levels, with China suffering even more.
At the same time, he is making Europe realize that we are far too dependent. What is coming next—and how can or should businesses adapt to this new world?
