Trumponomics: who wins and who loses?
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
US President Donald Trump’s much-anticipated appearance at the World Economic Forum at Davos certainly did not disappoint. After threatening to take Greenland into US control - and slap punitive tariffs on NATO allies that stood in his way - he promptly backed down late Wednesday. While the immediate reaction at the Swiss resort was one of relief, it has left world leaders and the global business community with a serious case of whiplash. In this episode, we consider how the world according to Trump is impacting investors, global markets and economies around the world. Just how damaging could those tariffs have been to the UK and EU? Why are Trump's attacks on the Chair of the Federal Reserve so consequential for the global economy? And what’s the knock-on effect of Trumponomics on British business?Presenters:Hannah Prevett, Associate Business Editor, The Sunday TimesJosh Glancy, Associate Editor, The Sunday Times Guests:Yael Selfin, Vice Chair and Chief Economist, KPMG UK Jack Barnett, Economics Correspondent, The TimesRichard Fletcher, Business Editor, The TimesProducer: Miriam HallSenior Producer: Julia JohnsonExecutive Producer: Kate FordPhoto credit: GettyGet in touch: thebusiness@thetimes.comClips: CBS Texas, Channel 4, BBC, CNBC, NBC news Hosted on Acast.
