Yuthika, our line is determined by what the Danish media presents. If the official representatives and experts are coming out with opinions on the economic effects of the Trump presidency and they show that as something negative, then that is what we present further.

You're naive if you think you can discuss economic policy and long term effects on Denmark without including political context. The U.S. election will have a worldwide impact on politics, economics, immigration, and far more things than can be listed here—in truth I wish U.S. newspapers could so cleanly and clearly approach things as the authors in LWiD did.

I do want to point out that Trump’s tariff policies, if enacted, will not reduce taxes for most people in America.

“ Factoring in the cost of tariffs, Trump's tax package could result in higher tax bills for everyone but the top 5%, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found.”
