Adrian and Renaud dive into a critical discussion just 12 days before the U.S. presidential election. With the possibility of Donald Trump being re-elected, they explore the implications for U.S.-China relations, focusing on trade dynamics and manufacturing.

The episode delves into Trump’s provocative strategies, such as the potential increase in tariffs and his vocal stance on decoupling from China. Adrian and Renaud analyze the impact of these policies on American consumers and manufacturers, considering the broader geopolitical and economic landscape. They also discuss the challenges and opportunities for U.S. manufacturers in adapting to these potential changes.

Listeners gain insights into the ideological and practical implications of a Trump presidency versus a Harris administration, with a focus on the effects on global supply chains, technological competition, and international relations. The hosts provide valuable advice for manufacturers on planning and contingency strategies in light of these uncertain times.
