As the US retreats from multilateralism, new global leadership must fill the vacuum. Today I'll be speaking to Bloomberg #TheClose at 16:30ET about Trumponomics & how countries like Brazil & South Africa can reshape a global economic order toward sustainability & inclusion over economic nationalism.
