Trump is having major effects on other countries.

The Australian Federal election is looming and global uncertainty is the catchphrase especially for the proposed national budget which will be revealed soon, as discussed by our very reliable political ABC (Oz) reporter, David Speers:

"The treasurer knows uncertainty is the only sure thing as budget day nears

"Geopolitics remain precarious

"Global uncertainty has only gone through the roof since the election to the White House of disrupter-in-chief Donald Trump. US allies and partners are struggling to keep up."

...

"And if two ongoing wars weren't enough, there's the uncertainty of the Trump administration's trade agenda.

"In two weeks, another round of tariffs will be announced. Australia still has no idea which exports will be hit, nor how hard they will be punished.

"Tuesday's budget will attempt to forecast the impact of these tariffs on the economy, but without the details, Treasury is largely taking a stab in the dark."
