Brexit vote is successful would set England free from European Union. It will reduce trade of many European countries and now these countries would have to renegotiate fresh agreements with England and vice versa.

Trumps' threat to put a 35% tax on goods produced outside of the US by American companies.

Trump threat to put a 35 % tax on goods produced outside of the US would severely undermine welfare of American people. Now American people would be compelled to buy goods at higher price after imposition of taxes.
