NOTE

Prioritizing regional economic development and the pivot to Asia

The speaker believes that there may be a shift in resources from Europe to Asia in terms of economic development based on discussions after Trump's first victory. However, there are concerns that this shift may not materialize and could instead be an excuse for isolationism. The speaker is skeptical about Trump's commitment to pivot to Asia due to potential influence from the CCP. Additionally, the speaker suggests that despite some individuals showing interest in opposing China, Trump's decisions will ultimately dictate the course of action. The speaker also mentions the idea of devaluing the dollar, expressing doubt that it will happen due to lack of a viable strategy. The speaker contrasts their willingness to provide insight with the reluctance to reach out due to political differences.
