President Donald Trump arrives on stage for a Keep America Great Rally at Kellogg Arena December 18, 2019, in Battle Creek, Michigan.The year 2020 certainly got off to a bang with tensions between the U.S. and Iran high amid Tehran-backed protests in Iraq and experts believe that geopolitical turbulence is only going to get worse this year, particularly in the run up to the most seismic event of the year — the U.S. election in November.
"I think this is going to be a year of greater turbulence, greater intensification of practically every geopolitical tension, and that is going to play into the Democratic primaries but also the 2020 election in a big way," Inderjeet Parmar, visiting professor at the London School of Economics and head of City University's department of International Politics, said Thursday.
"The last three years have shown us that the U.S. is wracked by polarization – pretty much every institution you can think of within politics is set up against another within the same political system … what we've got is a president against the Congress, a House against the Senate and we've got party against party. So, I think that turbulence is going to carry on and intensify," he told CNBC's Squawk Box Europe.
