Relative Return Unplugged: The global ripples of a Trump sweep



In this episode, hosts Maja Garaca Djurdjevic and Keith Ford are joined by special guest Steve Kuper to dive deep into the recent US election results and what they mean for the world.
With Donald Trump reclaiming the presidency in a sweeping victory, we examine the global implications from both a geopolitical and economic perspective.
We’ll discuss how Trump’s campaign strategies resonated so strongly with voters, the missteps that left the Democrats struggling to connect, and Kamala Harris’ challenge in defining her own path apart from President Joe Biden.
Tune in as we unpack what went right – and wrong – on both sides of the aisle, and what it could mean for allies, adversaries, and markets worldwide.
