US defends 'America First' agenda ahead of Trump's visit to Davos
On the first day of his trip to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, President Donald Trump sought the spotlight, emerging from his exile from the media while attending a conference for some of the world's wealthiest and most important people.
When Trump arrives in Davos, Mohale wrote, "it will be clear exactly what it is you mean when you lay out your "America First" doctrine".
At a dinner with US President Donald Trump on Thursday at the World Economic Forum (WEF), European Union business leaders praised the Trump-approved tax reform, which saw the US corporate tax rate slashed from 35 percent to 21 percent.
May also affirmed what has always been called the "special relationship" between the two countries.
Downing Street believes the public are growing angry at tech firms' inability or unwillingness to tackle the abuse of social media.
By the numbers, Trump and his phalanx of six cabinet ministers visiting Davos have a good story to tell, as he becomes the first sitting president to attend since Bill Clinton in 2000.
"Davos, whether you like it or not, is an important gathering of political and financial leaders", Gardner said. With a growth rate above 3 percent and unemployment hovering around 4 percent, the USA economy looks stable.
Tough U.S. talk on trade, on the eve of Trump's arrival at the Swiss ski resort on Thursday, contrasted sharply with a chorus of government leaders, from India and Brazil to Germany and Canada, who urged cooperation and criticized protectionism.

A host of NGOs have attacked Trump's policies as he prepares for his Davos entrance. - French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking in English, before switching to French to outline his vision of a new "social compact" for globalisation.
But implicitly rebuking Trump, he insisted: "Those that don't want to move forward should not block the most ambitious people in the room".
"It's nearly setting the agenda for a confrontation of some form", said Inderjeet Parmar, professor of worldwide politics at City University London.
On Friday, he will meet with President Kagame of Rwanda, who is now the chairman of the African Union, to reaffirm the US-Africa relationship and discuss shared priorities, including trade and security, McMaster said. "By doing this, Trump not only accomplishes that, but also will benefit from having the commanding presence he'll achieve just by appearing with world leaders", Bonjean said.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said Davos "should feel very flattered" by Trump's attendance.
The Trump administration has repeatedly lashed out at allegedly unfair trade agreements and practices.
When asked about a new agreement that is expected among 11 countries to forge an Asia-Pacific trade pact after the United States pulled out of an earlier version, Mnuchin said the Americans involvement was "not off the table".
The forthcoming state visit to the United Kingdom for the president was first discussed in January 2017 when May flew to Washington to meet President Trump - the first global leader to do so since he took office.
Still, Mr Ross conceded that China could respond by imposing its own tariffs on U.S. products.
