Trump's Assertive Stance at Davos: US Dominance and Criticism of European Policies

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Donald Trump presented an America-centric view of the global economy, arguing that the US is the driving force of growth and that Europe is heading in the wrong direction. He dismissed European policies for the green transition, calling them a “fraud,” and criticized government spending. He argued that increased production of natural gas and oil in the US has led to economic prosperity and urged other countries to follow the American model. At the same time, he attributed past US economic problems to the Covid pandemic, while questioning the possibility of a new inflationary trend.
