American corporates are well able to fund themselves.
Look what the
the AI businesses are doing.
But if they frighten them because they say we don't know what the environment is going to be, we're just going to stop investing.
Well then they'll have to back down because ultimately we're pigger backing in the rest of the world on the environment the Americans created for themselves.
And if they destabilize that, then they're really in trouble and I don't believe this administration will go that far.
Well he is he is he's forcing them to grow up.
become more self sufficient.
Think of Europeans not just in uh the in the in the dimension you talked about, in but in defense.
Um Europe is big enough, it should be defending itself.
I think that's a good thing.
Of course it is creating chaos and as I've indicated, the chaos could turn out to have serious consequences.
Uh if the if the world world's investors, including American investors, lose
confidence in dollar assets uh for a government that is running enormous fiscal deficits, that's going to be quite a problem and it will be very, very disruptive.
So you could imagine disruption happening, and I have friends who would argue that financial crises, particularly fiscal crises, are quite likely.
I'm a little more sanguine on that.
Um but you could also say that it is a wake up call for the West
Yes uh for the for the West as a whole and the rest of the world, uh to realise that actually they can't really rely on Uncle Sam and maybe they should rely a little bit more on themselves.
Yeah, I would guess we're going to see fragmentation, certainly in payment systems, uh more li limited in terms of the long term financial assets you can hold.
I don't think people are going to go into R and B.
