This Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Roland Gillet spoke at a financial luncheon organized by the Ecofin Club Brussels at the Cercle Gaulois in Brussels. The event focused on "The Power Dynamics Initiated by the Trump Administration and Its National, European, and Global Repercussions: Dangers and Opportunities in an Increasingly Globalized World." Roland Gillet provided an initial assessment of Trump's term, discussing the effects of trade policies that caused significant volatility in the stock markets. He highlighted American pragmatism and their wealth-creation capacity compared to Europeans. He also emphasized the necessity for Europe to uphold its commitments to NATO and to maintain peaceful and stable relations with its main partner. The presentation was moderated by Marc Lambrechts, a financial columnist at L’Echo.
