New Zealand?s small, open economy is reliant on trade and vulnerable to the whims of major nations.
New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English signaled he might adjust the nation?s immigration program and joined the global chorus of concern about the risk to trade from the Trump administration as he gears up for a September election.
English, like other developed world leaders, has said New Zealand will have to wait and see whether the president acts upon his campaign rhetoric.
?People just keep turning up and Kiwis keep staying home,? he said, referring to record immigration of 71,305 in the year through January.
But there are challenges: a housing boom is locking many first-home buyers out of the market and saddling others with huge debts.
