As the U.S. elections approach, Dutch companies, particularly in the agricultural sector, are feeling the pressure of potential protectionist measures, especially from Republican candidate Donald Trump. Companies like Scelta Mushrooms, which supplies frozen mushrooms to 6,000 American restaurants, report that clients are delaying investments, wary of the election outcome. Economists warn that increased tariffs could shrink the Dutch economy by billions and impact global growth. With the U.S. being a major trading partner, the stakes are high for the Netherlands, prompting businesses to diversify strategies amid uncertainty.
