The 10 countries most exposed to policy changes under a potential Trump presidency, based on The Economist's Trump Risk Index.
In his previous term in office, Donald Trump showed he wasn't afraid to make sweeping policy decisions that had impacts reaching beyond U.S. borders. The Trump Risk Index uses various indicators to measure the exposure of the U.S.’s 70 largest trading partners to policy changes Trump would likely enact if he takes the White House.
The scores are based on several trade, security, and immigration indicators. Examples of indicators include:
Mexico is the most exposed country overall to a potential Trump presidency, largely due to its high trade and immigration exposure. The country is the top source of immigrants to the U.S., and is heavily reliant on the U.S. for goods trade.
Other Latin American countries close to the U.S. also rank among the top 10, including Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Panama.
