Donald Trump Piers Morgan Theresa May WEF Davos 2018
"It looks like a trade war is a possibility", said Jia Qingguo, head of worldwide studies at Peking University.
During a Q&A exchange after his speech, Mr. Trump was asked what experience in his past prepared him for the presidency. "Now is the flawless time to bring your business, your jobs and your investments to the United States".
Trump, the first sitting US president to visit the summit for 18 years, said this was a "big thing" before listening to similar pitches from the bosses of Nestle, Nokia, Volvo and Adidas.
The United States, thanks to the so-called shale revolution that opened vast new reserves, has become one of the world's largest producers of oil and natural gas, and a growing energy exporter, with much of it moving to foreign markets through Houston and other Gulf Coast ports. "The United States will no longer turn a blind eye to unfair trade practices".
"We will enforce our trade laws and restore integrity to the trading system".
While within the EU, Britain can not negotiate separate trade deals with other countries. But they booed when he strayed off script during a brief question session after the speech with an attack on the "nasty", "mean", "vicious" and "fake" press. "This is what he does", said one of Friday's two protesters, Anya Schiffrin, a professor at Columbia University and the wife of prominent U.S. economist Joseph Stiglitz. Or would Trump seek to appease an audience that had, just a year ago, recoiled at his election and the era of American protectionism it seemed to usher in?
Responding to comments from Werner Baumann, CEO of Bayer which is now in the process of taking over USA seed maker Monsanto, Trump said he was a regular user of one of the German healthcare group's mainstays: aspirin.
Trump "sent a very important signal about TPP".
As though to put to bed any tensions about Trump's canceled visit, the two sides agreed to plan a Trump visit to London later this year. However, Trump added that he wanted the tech company to move all of its plants from China to the U.S.

Eight dead as US-led strike hits Iraq forces
The Joint Operations Command said they had opened an investigation into the incident and would release further information soon. Alsumaria said the head of the al-Baghdadi township and its police chief were among the wounded and were in serious condition.
Elsewhere in the speech, Trump touted himself as the first true businessman president, extolled recent Republican tax cuts, said he favored free trade but warned the USA would no longer "turn a blind eye" toward unfair trade practices, and argued for a merit-based immigration system.
Though "I don't really know what he means, renegotiate or have a new agreement", he added.
LISA MILLAR: Mr Trump used his visit to Davos to try to ease some of the strain in the relationship with the United Kingdom - meeting Theresa May and in a TV interview offering to apologize for retweeting the far right group.
The 11 members are expected in March to finalise the deal, which was revived after a big push by New Zealand and Japan.
"A deal which included goods but did not include services could never be fair".
Before his speech, POLITICO spotted four hamburgers and fries on their way to the speakers' room - Davos clearly offers all the comforts of home.
Before his trip to Davos, Trump imposed 30% tariffs on imported solar panels, among the first unilateral trade restrictions made by the administration as part of a broader protectionist agenda.
Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor's son Ishaan, who is a reporter for The Washington Post, even stated that some journalists also booed Trump for his comment.
"The general positive reaction was, he wasn't as terribly offensive and divisive as we've seen other times", Sperling said.
