Show Notes
Reuben Miller, Mergermarket’s global chief regulatory editor, based in Washington DC, joins Dealcast host Julie-Anna Needham to discuss the multi-fold impact of tariffs on dealmaking.
- China and the US are currently circling each other like fighters. Why does he see this as “a delicate dance”?
- Could Trump’s threat of tariffs on allies and competitors be a catalyst for demand for US manufacturing assets?
- Are the threats a negotiating position to gain concessions or a real statement of intent?
All this and more in this week’s Dealcast, which was recorded on Tuesday 4 February.
