BANGKOK -- U.S. President Donald Trump's policies are turning geopolitics "upside down," but Asian businesses are well-positioned to take advantage of the shifting world order, according to Thai Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak.
Asia is becoming a "center of the world economy," he told an audience of Thai and Japanese corporate executives at the Nikkei Asia300 Global Business Forum, held in Bangkok on Friday. Amid a host of disruptions, from Trump's "America first" stance to emerging technologies, Somkid said "opportunities are shifting from the West to the East."
