Having an interest in what goes on around the world globally is really important.

But, since you ask, consider this. Trump, an extremely right wing president looks set to compete for a second term as president. The economy is improving, unemployment is improving....if his tenure is a success what will the rest of the world do? There will be many countroes that will want such strong extremism and will follow suit.

Politics should never be tied to the country you live in. It is how we learn what does and does not work.

@geekie and some of it is linked to that. With Brexit we need good relationship with the USA as one of our largest markets outside EU added very important regards inward investment. His trade barriers are probably exactly what we don't need as we go out on our own. Plus decision like his universal imposition of sanctions on Iran now means big oil companies like BP have to pull out of there or face losing USA market.
Macro economic in the global era. USA affects so much much of the world
