Cambridge analysts call out challenges after Trump wins US presidential election
Cambridge Judge Business School academics- Michael Kitson, David Reiner and Thomas Roulet- comment on the US Presidential election result in which Donald Trump was elected the next US President.
“The American electorate has made its choice. But this decision will herald a world economy leaning toward greater protectionism – which will lead to lower incomes and higher prices in many countries including the UK,” Michael Kitson said.
“The election of Donald Trump is undoubtedly a major setback for global climate action and the only question is just how catastrophic the impact will be,” David Reiner comments.
“As before, I fear that some aspects of Trump’s strategy will be copied – but improved – by future populists who can balance divisive positioning that attract a hardcore base with broader stances that attract a wider spectrum of support,” Thomas Roulet said.

While the path may not be without bumps, today’s budget marks a new chapter in addressing the UK’s economic malaise, with hopes pinned on transformative public investment as the key to sustainable economic revival.”

Don’t be fooled by AI companies’ ‘ethics washing’

To truly ensure that AI companies prioritize the public good, we need mandatory regulatory oversight and legally binding ethical and environmental standards,” Christopher writes.

Matriculation is essentially a traditional swearing-in ceremony where you are welcomed to your college and it culminates with an impressive feast in the Formal Hall,” Hugo says. “As I was signing my name into the Matriculation book to formalise my association with the college, it dawned on me how rare it was for someone from my background to be in that position. I hope more people from diverse backgrounds are given similar opportunities.”
