How George Soros Upstaged Donald Trump at Davos

Both governments said after the meeting that their staffs are working to schedule a visit by Mr. Trump to the United Kingdom before the end of this year.

British Prime Minister Theresa May sought to reaffirm her country's central role in world affairs on Thursday, when she delivered a speech to the World Economic Forum and met with President Donald Trump to dispel any perceptions of tensions between them.

"When the United States grows, so does the world", Mr Trump said in a speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

"These and other predatory behaviours are destroying the global markets", he said.

One of Trump's first actions in office was to pull out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade agreement among a dozen countries that included provisions, among other things, created to bring equity between countries in copyright laws.

"They had a couple of depictions of radical Islamic terror".

He also slipped on his economics professor cap, telling the gathering of powerful politicians and wealthy business executives that "to be successful, it is not enough to invest in our economy - we must invest in our people".

Business leaders in Davos have backed Trump's argument that the U.S. is looking more attractive.

On Friday, Trump also repeated remarks first made upon arrival in Switzerland that his message was one of "peace and prosperity".

Trump slammed regulation (which he called "stealth taxation") and touted his administration's deregulation and tax cuts to make America more hospitable to business. "The stock market is smashing one record after another and has added more than $7 trillion in new wealth since my election", he said.

"I'm going to say: "Come into the United States".
