As President Donald Trump embarks on his second term, the global business landscape is bracing for significant geopolitical shifts. From his bold stance on foreign conflicts to his “America First” trade policies, the world is watching how his administration will reshape international relations.
To unpack these developments, GlobalData, a leading data and analytics firm, is hosting a Strategic Intelligence webinar on Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 4 PM GMT / 11 AM EST. The discussion will focus on Trump’s handling of adversaries such as China, Russia, and Iran, as well as the impact of his administration’s policies on global markets and supply chains.
Key Topics: Trump’s Disruptive Foreign Policy Moves
Trump’s second presidency has already introduced a wave of foreign policy decisions, some of which include:
- His controversial attempt to mediate the Russia-Ukraine war without Ukrainian or European involvement.
- Calls to reclaim the Panama Canal, which could spark new tensions in Latin America.
- A proposed annexation of Greenland, a move previously dismissed but now resurfacing in policy discussions.
- Plans to “clear out” the Gaza Strip, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing Middle East conflict.
These actions underscore the potential for major shifts in global stability, trade, and diplomacy.
Insights from Global Experts
The webinar will feature a distinguished panel of experts, including:
- Carolina Pinto – Analyst, Strategic Intelligence team at GlobalData
- Christopher Granville – Managing Director, Global Political & Policy Research, TS Lombard
- Grace Fan – Managing Director, Global Policy Research & Disruptive Themes Research, TS Lombard
Granville and Fan have emphasized the significance of Trump’s return to power: “Trump’s first month back in the White House has opened a disruptive new chapter in global geopolitics, with shockwaves from his early moves on trade and foreign policy already rippling across borders and industries.”
They will examine Trump’s policies within the broader geopolitical framework, assessing their implications not just on U.S. adversaries, but also on global alliances, capital markets, and investor confidence.
The Growing Threat of Supply Chain Disruptions
A crucial point of discussion will be the increasing supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical fractures. Pinto explains, “Supply chain disruptions are becoming worse and more frequent. Geopolitical fractures are a leading cause of this trend. This webinar will explore whether Trump’s America First agenda will raise or ease geopolitical tensions.”
