Trump touts U.S. economic might, dismisses climate 'pessimism' as impeachment trial begins by alexalper
DAVOS, Switzerland - Thousands of miles from his Washington impeachment trial, President Donald Trump took center stage at Davos on Tuesday to tout the success of the U.S. economy and urge corporate titans and global policymakers to invest even more in America.
The absence of attention to climate was noticed by the audience, including by teenage activist Greta Thunberg, the star invitee, who responded by referring to “empty words and promises” by world leaders. It was the second time Trump has taken the stage at the WEF meeting. Two years ago, he urged companies to invest in America after passing the first tax cuts to encourage business spending.

Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz said the strongest thing about Trump’s speech was that it was scheduled between sessions on climate change. He criticized the President’s swipe at climate ‘pessimists’.“As if what we are seeing with our eyes are not there,” Stiglitz said. “It’s astounding.”
