 "And here is our apprehensiveness around that: if he [Trump] places that 45 or 35 percent tariff on his borders, what sort of relationship will he have with the second-biggest economy in the world, when we are looking at China and also, Mexico?"

The president-elect has also been known to make statements that render current trade commitments made by the US null. So what effect would his protectionist policy have on significant relationships, such as that with the World Trade Organisation (WTO)?

"There is not much clarity on what Donald Trump is going to do. There is no assurity on what kind of stance he will take with respect to the WTO, with respect to trade tariffs... he is anti-globalisation. That is the focus for him," says Aslam.

With the focus on two of the United States' most obvious trade partners, what kind of effect will the rest of the world feel as a result of Trump's proposed tariffs? Will we see a global trade war?

"You're talking about taking jobs back [globally] if you want to make products in the US. [In the case of Boeing] what kind of relationship will the US have with the UK and the EU, if you are moving jobs out of the UK and the EU... these countries surely aren't going to sit on their hands and say 'Sure, take away our jobs and all that new investment, put it in the US.' Certainly, there would be a retaliation," says Aslam.

Concerns regarding Trump's trade policies were echoed throughout this year's Detroit Motor Show as Chinese car makers attempt to enter the lucrative US market. Newcomers to the American market, China's GAC, hopes to become the first Chinese car maker to sell directly to the American consumer. But with trade policies at risk, especially should China respond in kind to Trump's threats to impose tariffs on imported goods, this will be a formidable task.

"If you're a company, like GAC, who's just starting to want to come to this country, this may not be the best news or time for you... but also remember, Trump doesn't want to cause major upheaval," says Karl Brauer, senior analyst at vehicle valuation and automotive research company, Kelly Blue Book.
