In a virtual appearance at Davos, Trump outlines his aggressive economic agenda and fields questions from global business leaders.

President Donald Trump delivered his first major international remarks since returning to the White House earlier this week, addressing the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, via satellite.

Speaking to an audience of global leaders and business executives, Trump outlined a bold economic agenda focused on revitalizing American industry, reducing regulatory barriers, and prioritizing domestic production.

During his address, Trump highlighted his administration’s commitment to creating jobs, reducing trade deficits, and renegotiating international trade agreements to benefit American workers.

“We are ushering in a new era of economic strength,” Trump declared, adding that his policies will be aimed at securing the United States’ position as a global leader in innovation and manufacturing.

Following his speech, Trump joined a panel to field questions from international business leaders.

Topics included his vision for energy independence, the role of technology in driving economic growth, and how the U.S. plans to engage with allies on trade and security.

Trump said his administration’s willingness to partner with nations that share a commitment to economic fairness and mutual prosperity.

While the address was met with some skepticism from European leaders, who expressed concerns about the impact of Trump’s trade policies, business leaders praised his focus on deregulation and infrastructure investment.
