The New Zealand Export Organisation is concerned that Donal Trump’s election as US President will reduce opportunities for NZ exporters.
His apparent desire to introduce protectionist measures for international trade may mean that it is no longer economic for exports from New Zealand to enter the USA. The Organisation expects demand for NZ exports to drop, and they are particularly concerned about wine exports, as the USA may wish to protect its own wine industry. Donald Trump owns a winery, whilst being tee-total himself.
