Why Trump Is About to Come for Ireland

About this episode

The episode discusses the economic implications of the Ozempic boom in Ireland and its potential attention from Trump.

Made in Kinsale, sold in America, the Ozempic boom is making Ireland rich and dangerously exposed. We unpack how three companies now pay nearly half our corporate tax, and what happens when Trump finally notices. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
