U.S. President Donald Trump called for OPEC to lower oil prices and demanded global interest rate cuts during his address to the World Economic Forum in Davos. Trump warned that countries manufacturing products outside the U.S. could face tariffs, signaling a shift from free market norms.
"I'll demand interest rates drop immediately, and globally as well," Trump stated via video. He also pressed Saudi Arabia and OPEC to reduce oil costs. Despite his strong remarks, specific details on potential tariffs remain unclear.
Oil prices dipped during his speech, while the euro weakened, and the U.S. dollar fluctuated. The S&P 500, however, reached near-record highs. Trump's comments targeted allies like Canada and the EU for trade surpluses with the U.S., threatening new tariffs.
In a rare exchange, Trump interacted with business leaders like Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman. He criticized banks for alleged discrimination against conservatives but offered no evidence. Moynihan sidestepped the claims, commending Trump on hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Trump reiterated his focus on boosting U.S. manufacturing and energy production, asserting America’s vast oil and gas resources would transform it into a global manufacturing hub. He also called for nuclear arms reduction talks with Russia and China.
Trump's controversial policies, including the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement and the WHO, drew mixed reactions. His pardons of Capitol riot participants and plans to dismantle diversity programs faced backlash from lawmakers and business leaders.
While some praised his direct approach, critics expressed concern over his tariff threats and rejection of global cooperation. Norwegian Minister Espen Barth Eide stressed the benefits of free trade, reflecting broader unease among world leaders.
Trump’s stance on tariffs, energy, and trade continues to spark global debate.
