Trump 2.0 Haunts World Economy Chiefs Gathering in Washington Before Vote
- Finance, central bank leaders gather for IMF annual meetings
- US election seen as global risk alongside wars and inflation
The world’s financial leaders are gathered in Washington, ostensibly to discuss technical stuff: debt, inflation, interest rates. What’s really on their minds is Donald Trump.
The ex-president’s potential return to the White House has loomed large over this week’s annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. At public seminars and panels, or behind closed doors at steak-house dinners, discussion kept turning to the vote that’s less than two weeks away.
