Trump Administration Criticizes Globalization at Davos

Okay.

Okay? We are in Davos at the World Economic

Forum,

and the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make

a very clear point. Globalization

has failed the West and the United States of America.

It's a failed policy. It is what the WEF has stood for, which

is

export, offshore, far shore,

find the cheapest labor in the world, and the world is a better place for it.

The fact is, it has left America behind.

It has left the American workers behind.

And what we are here to say is that America first is a

different model, one that we encourage other

countries to consider, which is that our workers

come first.

We can have policies that impact

our workers. Sovereignty is your borders.

You're entitled to have borders. You shouldn't offshore your medicine.

You shouldn't offshore your semiconductors.

You shouldn't offshore your entire industrial base and have it be hollowed

out beneath you. You should not be dependent for

that which is fundamental to your sovereignty on

any other nation. And if you're going to be dependent on

someone, it darn

well better be your best allies, okay?

And so that is a different way of thinking.

It is completely different than the WEF.

I viewed the WEF as not a flagpole in the middle,

but in fact they are the flag. Whichever way the wind blew,

so it blew. You should have solar. You should have wind.

Why are you going to do solar and wind?

Why would Europe

agree to be net zero in twenty thirty when

they don't make a battery? They don't make a battery.

So if they go twenty thirty, they are deciding to be

subservient to China, who makes the batteries
