With the summary release of Robert Mueller's two-year investigation, a previously reeling Trump no longer looks as desperate for a policy win of any sort.
President Donald Trump's resounding triumph in the Russia collusion investigation is set to reverberate into policy, with the most likely first impact the looming trade negotiations with China."It sure looked a month ago like he really badly needed a victory. I thought he would take virtually anything on trade," said Greg Valliere, chief global strategist at Horizon Investments and an expert on the political ramifications on financial markets.
However, the potential that Trump could feel emboldened by the apparent conclusion from the Mueller report that the president's campaign did not collude with Russia might delay progress with China. The Mueller report and the China negotiations were thought to represent two of the key unknowns for corporate executives and investors. After 2018 saw the best economic growth of the expansion that began in mid-2009, 2019 starts off with a high level of uncertainty, particularly over the effects that slowdowns in Europe and China will have on the U.S.
