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.
Trump urges OPEC to lower oil prices, promising to actively promote interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

Trump's "Energy card": filling the SPR, lifting the LNG export ban, and exporting USA's energy to the entire world.
In his inaugural address, Trump promised to lower Energy prices, fill the USA Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), lift restrictions on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, and export USA's Energy to the entire world. Trump also repeatedly promised to reduce Energy prices by 50% during his campaign. Analysts believe that Trump's commitment to lowering Energy prices by 50% is nearly impossible to achieve. In contrast, even during a global pandemic, which is a major disaster, the average Energy cost for Americans only decreased by less than 20%, and oil producers who verbally support Trump will see their profits squeezed.
