By blocking the Nippon-US Steel transaction on purported national security grounds, Washington is adding further fuel to the toxic politics of deglobalization.
Excellent piece by the excellent Steve Roach. In passing, also worth noting the chart in Steve’s piece which backs up what we in Ireland have been saying consistently and insistently - that Ireland is one of the biggest sources of FDI into the United States. It’s not all about Irish corporate tax rates and the presence of US multinationals in Ireland.
Thank you Declan -- always great to hear from you again. And you are entirely correct on Ireland -- a small nation that has long punched well above its weight! Best for 2025.
