Trump in Davos: ‘America First’ Does Not Mean ‘America Alone’






 United States President Donald Trump repeated his ‘America First’ message in a speech Friday to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

But he said although his policies seek to put America first, this “does not mean America alone.”

“When the United States grows, so does the world,” Trump said. He added that U.S. economic growth, creativity and innovation has led to the creation of “countless jobs around the globe.”

The World Economic Forum is a not-for-profit organization established in 1971. The yearly meeting is attended by world political and business leaders, including many heads of state.

Trump’s comments about his ‘America First’ policies were expected at the gathering. But some experts were unsure how the theme would be received: the Davos meeting traditionally centers on global economic growth.
