US presidential election: Would a Trump or Harris administration favour Singapore?
As Americans headed to the polls on Tuesday (Nov 5), the world watched to see who emerged as the 47th president of the United States.
But between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, which administration would have been more beneficial for Singapore?
To find out how either administration would impact Singapore, AsiaOne spoke with three experts to get an insight on the two candidates' policies.
In terms of public opinion, Associate Professor Bilveer Singh from the National University of Singapore's Political Science faculty said that most Singaporeans «will not mind» whoever wins the presidential race.
Until the new administration's policies start «biting» Singaporeans, that is.
Veteran Singapore diplomat Kishore Mahbubani agreed that the world would be a «calmer place» if Harris won the keys to the Oval Office, Fortune reported.
«The last thing you want is an erratic leader like Donald Trump coming in,» he said at the Insights Forum during the Singapore FinTech Festival on Monday.
