Strategic info for government and business leaders

2018 the Trump Administration faces many challenges both in the national and international contexts.The US economy is doing well and may even do better with the tax cuts on companies under implementation; unemployment went way down but there is the looming problem of those who cannot find jobs. US Federal Reserve is monitoring the situation and will probably increase its discount rate again. US politics perhaps more colorful than usual. Immigration has become a major problem. Racial issues not going away. The world: US questioning trade agreements with other countries and groups including NAFTA. Challenges: North Korea; Syria. US-Russia relations need improvement; US-China needs constructive dialogue. Leadership (of public and private sectors) at national and international levels: crucial for the handling of national and international issues.

There are ideas about giving another boost to manufacturing in the US; the service sector keeps on growing. The small business sector has also been growing. There is a need for strategic thinking and action for the US to keep its lead.
