President Donald Trump looks on after delivering his speech to the World Economic Forum annual meeting today in Davos, Switzerland.
January 27 (ANI): United States President Donald Trump has again been caught on the wrong foot, this time at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. He also tried to assure the wary gathering that economic growth taking place in the US under his "America first" agenda benefits the rest of the world.
"Now is the flawless time to bring your business, your jobs and your investments to the United States", the cheerleading president told the crowd, which seemed to regard him with a skeptical eye.
Without the United States, TPP-11 only represents 13.5 percent of the global economy. White House economic adviser Gary Cohn says Trump will discuss his trade philosophy in a speech here in Davos tomorrow.
"When the United States grows, so does the world". "We can not have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others". "It wasn't until I became a politician that I realised how nasty, how mean, how vicious and how fake the press can be", Pointing into the audience, he added, "as the cameras start going off in the background". It's already seen the USA withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal with 11 countries, and seek a renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico.
Trump, who has called an agreement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict the "ultimate deal", said Thursday that he had taken Jerusalem- one of the thorniest issues - "off the table", although US officials have stressed repeatedly that the decision has no impact on negotiations over the borders or sovereignty of the holy city.
Before Trump, "the high marginal tax rate and some of the regulation on specific industries did mean the US was not always the first choice", Posen said. Businesses around the world crave stability, and the tax cuts will likely have to be revisited in the coming years to address burgeoning USA deficits, she said.
Mnuchin told CNBC television on Friday he was "absolutely not trying to talk down the dollar" and that his remarks had been taken out of context.
He also got a laugh about how he's always been the recipient of good press coverage - but that quickly turned into boos when he made a crack about the "fake" media. The Palestinians, in turn, said Trump's "language of dictation is unacceptable", in the words of spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeneh.
THE FACTS: This is misleading: It's not clear from Apple's statement that it is actually increasing investment in the USA from its current levels.
Lisa Kudrow responds to 'Friends' reunion rumours after fake trailer goes viral
Since it ended back in 2004 fans have been pining for a reunion, hoping for one last episode or even a full-length movie. Friends was recently added to Netflix so that could easily be one of the sources for this renewed interest in the show.

Three Matches Announced for "Royal Rumble" Kickoff Show
According to media reports, WWE has something bigger in store for the former Money In The Bank victor at Wrestlemania 34. Interestingly, Stone Cold Steve Austin is the only WWE wrestler to claim victory in the Rumble match three times.
Still, Posen suggested that Trump missed an opportunity to speak up in favor of the global trading system or to offer specific proposals on how to improve, say, the protection of intellectual property rights.
In opening remarks, each CEO was quick to stress the size of their USA workforce, the many billions poured into America or to praise his tax cut.
Trump said the U.S.is experiencing "strong economic growth" after years of stagnation, using stock market records and consumer, business and manufacturing confidence levels to back him up.
President Trump replied, "That's a big thing".
That did not please everyone. The American president wants to make them even more money.
Trump's visit in Davos was preceded by the appearance earlier in the week of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who celebrated the announcement of the rejuvenated Asia-Pacific trade agreement.
So maybe his new, not-so-against globalisation tone shouldn't be such a surprise.
Without naming Trump, German Chancellor Angela Merkel evoked the build-up to the two world wars and openly questioned whether leaders had learned the lessons from those 20th-century conflicts.
Certainly, the man who has railed against globalisation since beginning his run for President must have seemed scary for a business conference aimed squarely at globalisation.
