The economy became the main reason behind Donald Trump’s victory in the US election. His goal will be to get the American economy on top and keep it going. That’s what he said about the show “Newsroom” by Radio “Focus” the economist Dr. Boyan Duranev. Europe must take heed of the winds of change that the “Trump 2.0” administration will bring with it, he warned.
