Singapore PM Warns of Economic Overhaul to Counter Trump’s Trade War Storm

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, campaigning for Saturday’s election, warned of a “new storm” from US President Donald Trump’s trade war, necessitating a “major restructuring” of Singapore’s trade-reliant economy. Speaking at a rally, Wong, who became premier in 2024, urged voters to support the People’s Action Party (PAP) to maintain stability amid global economic turbulence caused by Trump’s tariffs, paused for most countries except China.
