Richard Branson expressed strong disapproval of President Trump's trade policies, labeling them as erratic and detrimental both globally and domestically. During a visit to Saudi Arabia, he emphasized that such unpredictability complicates business operations and halts investments. Mr. Branson also condemned Trump's shifting stance on the Ukraine conflict, suggesting it places the U.S. on the wrong side of history. Notably, his open criticism contrasts with many business leaders, highlighting his belief that Trump's policies do not reflect the views of most Americans, many of whom he described as decent individuals.
The unpredictability is just awful for everybody around the world. It's just erratic, unpredictable, which is very, very difficult for business to deal with.
An unsettled world is not good for anybody. People delay decisions on investment and spending.
I don't think he's carrying the vast majority of Americans in what he's doing. Most American people are decent individuals. I'm just sad, incredibly sad.
Mr. Branson sharply criticized President Trump's erratic trade policies, noting they risk damaging the world and are not supported by most Americans.
