Poll: Has your KiwiSaver (or another investment) been affected by Trump's moves on tariffs?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Kirstin Miller was not a fan of Donald Trump - and that was before the US President inadvertently intervened in her attempt to get a foot on the property ladder.

First home buyer Miller said she and her partner had applied to use their KiwiSaver funds to buy their first home but in the weeks since their loan was approved their KiwiSaver balances had dropped below their agreed deposit amount.

Has your KiwiSaver (or another investment) been affected by Trump's moves on tariffs? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
