Eastern Swedish companies about Trump: “He bargains like the businessman he is”

The USA is an important trading country for all of Europe as well as for Gotland, Sörmland and Östergötland.

– We always strive for stability and long-term rules of the game, it is very important for business life. But Donald Trump threatens to throw this up in the air, says Maria Björk Hummelgren, who is vice president and head of economic policy at the Eastern Swedish Chamber of Commerce.

Two exchange students from Bangladesh and China we speak to, on the contrary, are very hopeful and trust that there will now be peace in Ukraine and Gaza.

According to Maria Björk Hummelgren, the entrepreneurs’ direct concern is increased trade tariffs, where Trump has threatened with 30 percent.

– In addition, many entrepreneurs are also worried geopolitically, what will happen to the support for Ukraine and the rest of the world.
