new upredictable USA will start today

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

More deportations of Khmericans to Cambodia ? Given his stance on immigrants, that wouldn't be surprising.

Even so, probably wouldn't affect things here very much, unless there's a massive increase in the number of violent criminals deported.

trade wars are definitely a worry.
the dollarised cambodian economy is very much affected by the strength/weakness of the USD.
my bet is that the USD will go down in order to discourage imports and encourage manufacturing in USA.
this is about the only tool that can be used other than outright tariff based trade barriers which can be disastrous for everyone.
the legacy of QE is that USA has repurchased a lot of the Chinese T-bill holdings.
China has used this money in part to buy gold.
lots of strategic chess moves have been going on since 2009.
i highly doubt that USA will ever be able to produce their own clothing and footwear- cornerstones of trade.
