President Donald Trump addressed the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, via video link from Washington, D.C., on Thursday, delivering his first major international speech since his inauguration on Monday. Speaking at 11 a.m. Eastern Time, Trump declared that 'Three days ago, I took the oath of office, and we began the golden age of America.' He further stated, 'What the world has witnessed in the past 72 hours is nothing less than a revolution of common sense.' The President proclaimed that 'Our country will soon be stronger, wealthier, and more united than ever before, and the entire planet will be more peaceful and prosperous as a result.' Trump emphasized that his administration is 'acting with unprecedented speed to fix the disasters we have inherited from a totally inept group of people and to solve every single crisis facing our country.' The speech was followed by a dialogue with WEF founder Klaus Schwab, where Trump discussed his plans for trade, energy policies, and regulatory reforms.
