Trump or Harris: who would be better for Ireland?

In The News

If elected president in November Donald Trump has promised to slash the US rate of corporate tax to 15 per cent.

Kamala Harris has said she would raise it to 28 per cent. So why the massive difference and what could either tax rate mean for Ireland?

And should we be less focused on corporation tax and more on trade policy? Trump’s promise of a 20 per cent import tax on all goods would hit hard globally – with exports from Ireland severely impacted.

And could Ireland get caught in the crossfire if Trump started a trade war with China?

Irish Times economics analyst Cliff Taylor looks at the different policy platforms of the two candidates and who would be better for Ireland?
