Published On Jan 20, 2025, 7:26 AM
Donald Trump is beginning his second term as president with a strong focus on cultivating relationships with business leaders. His encouragement of investment from companies like Apple indicates a pro-business stance, yet his unpredictable nature raises concerns among executives about the potential volatility of working with him. Many business leaders are attempting to navigate this uncertainty, hoping to manage the risks associated with Trump's transactional style of governance, which contrasts with that of the previous administration. This expectation of unpredictability leads to a cautious optimism in the market about how business dealings will evolve during his term.
