Live Q&A: How Trump's Tariffs Loomed Over Voters in Australia and Singapore

There was one man who loomed larger in Australia's election than any of the candidates: US President Donald Trump. Voters in the prominent US ally, angered by Trump and his punitive trade wars, rejected conservatives and re-elected a left-leaning incumbent. On the same day over in Singapore, the economic uncertainty created by global trade tensions, escalated by Trump's tariffs, seems to have strengthened the case for the long-ruling PAP, with voters seeking stability. In a Live Q&A, Bloomberg’s Haidi Stroud-Watts, Derek Wallbank, Philip Heijmans and Ben Westcott discuss how Trump's policies influenced Australia and Singapore election results.
