Trade, Policy & Power Shifts: Implications of the Trump Presidency on Australian Business Outlook

Business Hunter and AmCham Australia invite you to an exclusive event exploring the dynamic U.S.-Australia relationship and its impact on trade, investment, energy, Defence, and economic growth.

With Donald Trump returning to the White House, businesses across Australia and in the USA are preparing for potential shifts in U.S. trade policy, foreign relations, and economic strategy. What does this mean for Australian industries and the Australian Economy, and how can businesses adapt?

Business Hunter and AmCham Australia invite you to an exclusive event exploring the dynamic U.S.-Australia relationship and its impact on trade, investment, energy, Defence, and economic growth.

What’s on the agenda?

• Trade & Investment – The U.S. is one of Australia’s largest economic partners, but potential changes in tariffs, trade agreements, and foreign investment policies could reshape opportunities for Australian businesses. What should exporters and investors expect?
• Energy & Climate Policy – A new U.S. administration could shift global climate commitments and energy strategies. How will this impact Australia’s net zero ambitions, and what opportunities could emerge for industries such as critical minerals, renewables, and traditional energy?
• Defence & Foreign Policy – The U.S. plays a central role in Australia’s Defence strategy, particularly through AUKUS and other security alliances. How could policy shifts affect Defence contracts, regional security, and Australia’s place in the Indo-Pacific?
• Economic Opportunities & Risks – With potential changes to taxation, manufacturing incentives, and financial markets, what should Australian businesses be aware of? How can they stay competitive in an evolving global landscape?

This is a must-attend event for business leaders, exporters, investors, and industry professionals seeking clarity on how the next four years of U.S. policy could shape Australian industries.
