Radio Interview on BREXIT and Trump – 20 Dec 2019 

US Radio host Ron Myers at French Radio Lifestyle interviews Economist Christian Takushi on 20 Dec 2019

• We stick to our 2015 assessment:  The UK will exit the EU – A hard Brexit is still more likely than a soft Brexit. A No Deal Brexit will take place if EU sets too many tough conditions
• Northern Ireland and Ireland have both miscalculated – British people have moved on and accepted a framework that puts some boundaries on their long wish list. After dominating the 4-5 year long Brexit discussions, a reality check on Ireland
• UK can handle a No Deal BREXIT better than the EU – The UK to bet on dynamic economies, while overregulated EU will set on yet a larger role for the state
• Speaker Pelosi (Democrat leader in the House) is using a strategy that makes sense: damage control ahead of 2020 elections. On this track Republicans could win White House in 2020
