FT’s John Gapper notes:
“Multinational
companies, agents of many economic changes in recent decades, face an
existential challenge. Unlike other presidents, Mr. Trump does not want to work
with them or to reform them: he wants to bring them to heel. On the campaign
trail, he promised a fight for the soul of business between globalisation and
nationalism, and it turns out he meant it….
the more that
global companies testify to what made them — the cross-border flow of ideas and
people, the global recruitment of the best and brightest, and caring less about
ethnicity and nationality than entrepreneurialism and talent — the better the
chance they have.”
