Simon Bridges: Auckland Chamber of Commerce CEO says Trump will be a topic of discussion at the US Business Summit in Auckland - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

New Zealand's relationship with the incoming Trump administration will be the main topic at a US Business Summit in Auckland today.  

It will feature speeches from the Prime Minister, Trade Minister Todd McClay, US Ambassador Tom Udall, and a variety of business voices.  

Auckland Chamber of Commerce CEO Simon Bridges says it will be a great chance to get the Government's perspective on the American relationship.  

He told Mike Hosking that Trump’s win is hugely consequential, and it’s not enough for the Government to simply say they’ll wait and see. 

Bridges believes there can be some optimism though, as New Zealand is generally good at riding the waves and trade with the US flourished after Trump ripped up the CPTPP during his last term.
