This offer has already been shared by JPMorgan CEO Jimmy Damon, who said companies may begin to change their behavior as a result of the White House’s foreign policy.

Gates agree to tell CNN in an interview: “The great concern I have is that we have created a lot of uncertainty. If you are going to build a new factory, you need to understand politics over the next twenty years, not only the next two or even four years.”

The issue is doubled by long -term question marks hanging on the labor market, and added: “Thus, understanding,” well, what is the structure? “In a time of artificial intelligence, as the replacement of employment – both of them with white and blue collars – will begin to change the economy.

“I think it is a bad time to interfere with a lot of uncertainty … This is not an agreed group of things or a group of things that have been carefully discussed. What will happen with medications or electronics? I open the paper every day I wonder.

Gates added: “For me, it comes to advanced edge and saying:” Can the United States remain at the forefront? “And I think that you are friendly to other countries … they don’t think we will withdraw our technology in a sudden way.”

“There was a giant tariff for very poor African countries, and I do not see what would have been the benefit of that. I focus in particular on our role in raising those who needed greater, and the potential definitions were very bad for these poor countries,” Gates continued.

Examples may include countries such as Lesothho-which was a precedent to Trump’s 90-day stop on the “Liberation Day” tariff-in a new rate of 50 % and Malawi who was facing a 17 % average.
