Calum Chace said:
“If – and it’s a big if – the tariffs endure, then trade flows will re-orient away from the US. The global supply chain is complex, and dramatic changes like this normally take time. But Covid showed how a crisis can provoke much faster change than usual. A new global trading pattern in which the US plays a smaller role could enable Europe and other countries outside the US-China AI Duopoly to finally step up and play a full role in the development of the world’s most important technology.”
