U.S. Election Dynamics and Presidential Race
With the U.S. elections scheduled for November 5th, Donald Trump has already secured the necessary delegates to run for president once again.
He will be facing off against President Joe Biden, who unseated him in the 2020 election.
The upcoming race is expected to be fiercely contested, with both candidates presenting starkly different visions for America's future.
Criticism of Economic Policies and Vision for the Future
Former World Bank President Robert Zoellick has criticized the economic policies proposed by both candidates, accusing them of looking backward to a nostalgic past rather than forward to a dynamic and secure future.
Zoellick argued that the focus on reviving manufacturing and outdated industrial processes may not align with the realities of modern economic challenges, calling for a more forward-thinking approach to ensure sustainable growth and prosperity.
