Trump’s erratic policies put US at risk of recession, but much of the world is prepared

SINGAPORE - US President Donald Trump’s policy zigzags have brought the world’s largest economy to the brink,

with markets flashing red

and analysts sounding the alarm on the possibility of a recession that was unthinkable only weeks ago.

However, most markets outside of the US, including Singapore, are making the best out of the Trump-induced chaos. US stocks and its currency are in retreat, with analysts recommending investors flee Wall Street and seek opportunities in Europe and China.
