(Finance) – First release as President on a international stage For Donald Trump that in video-connection with ithe World Economic Forum Of Davos, welcomed by applause, he leaves immediately “with a bang”: “It was a historic week for the United States. The golden age has begun,” he says, assuring that The United States will be “soon stronger, richer and more united”and the planet will be “peaceful and prosperous because of that what we are doing and what we will do.”

So, the message to all companies of the world that “It’s very simple, come make your product in America and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on Earth.”

The President added that “if you don’t make your product in America, this is your prerogative. So, very simply, you will have to pay a tariff of different amounts but one tariff, which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars, and even trillions of dollars, into our treasury to strengthen our economy.” Trump reiterated his intention to reduce the rate on corporate income, bringing it “15% if produced in America”. The president then lambasted Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan. “You need to open your bank to conservatives, you and the others, because what you are doing is wrong.” The rebuke came after Trump responded to a question from Moynihan, reiterating his commitment to bringing down inflation and creating jobs.

Attack against the green deal “it’s a scam” – “We’ll let people buy the cars they want,” says Trump. “Coal is a good backup resource. It costs little and we in the United States have a lot of it, just as we have a lot of gas and oil”, the US president said again. The Green New Deal was “a misfortune”, he commented.

Striking the EU – There is also no lack of criticism of the EU. “From America’s point of view, the EU treats us very unfairly, very badly” said Donald Trump explaining that this is linked to “very substantial” taxes and VAT https://www.Finance.it/DettaglioNews/177_2025 -01-23_TLB/.”They don’t take our agricultural products and they don’t take our cars. Yet, they send us cars by the millions and put taxes on things we want to do,” Trump continued, recounting the his problems in obtaining authorizations for his business in Ireland. The president added that the European system of taxes and duties “makes it very difficult to bring products to Europe, and yet they expect to sell their products in the USA. As you know, hundreds of billions of dollars of deficit with the EU, and nobody’s happy about it, and we’re going to do something about it.”

Message to Putin – “I really wish I could meet with President Putin soon to end this war. And not from the point of view of economics or anything, but from the point of view of millions of lives being wasted,” says the US president. “Ukraine is willing to make an agreement” added Trump, underlining how it is a war that “should never have started and as long as I was there it never started”: “Many more people have died in Ukraine than has been reported.”
