The "Understanding King" is online! Trump speaks intensively at Davos, claiming to understand interest rates better than Powell, discussing tariffs and oil prices.
Trump stated that companies not producing in the USA face tariffs of "hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars". If produced in the USA, they can enjoy a reduction of corporate tax to 15%. The tariffs in Europe are too high, the regulations are too strict, and the trade deficit with the USA is too large, which will lead to measures being taken to ensure that the USA supplies Energy to Europe. Trump called on OPEC to "lower oil costs", stating that this would pressure Russia to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and demanded that the Saudi Crown Prince increase the promised investment in the USA to 1 trillion dollars. He also mentioned that he would "demand an immediate decrease in interest rates" and plans to have a conversation with Powell at an appropriate time.
