President Donald Trump blasted European nations for not being “recognizable” at the World Economic Forum in Davos Wednesday.
“I don’t want to insult anybody and say I don’t recognize it,” Trump said during his special address Wednesday. “And that’s not in a positive way. That’s in a very negative way. And I love Europe and I want to see Europe do good, but it’s not heading in the right direction.”
“In recent decades, it became conventional wisdom in Washington and European capitals that the only way to grow a modern Western economy was through ever increasing government spending, unchecked mass migration, and endless foreign imports,” Trump said.
Trump then said that issues like energy, trade, immigration and economic growth must be “central concerns to anyone who wants to see a strong and united West.”
Trump’s comments come as tensions between the U.S. and European allies have escalated, after Trump has renewed his ambitions to acquire Greenland and has threatened to impose tariffs on European allies who don’t back those efforts.
