Trump Criticizes Green Energy Policies at World Economic Forum in Davos
Trump criticized green energy policies and threatened tariffs on French goods, claiming strong-arm tactics at the World Economic Forum amid shifting global alliances.
- On January 21, 2026, President Donald Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, announcing repeal of green-energy investments in the Inflation Reduction Act, which critics say harmed the U.S. auto industry.
- Framing his speech around trade, Trump framed tariffs and threats as leverage, warning of a 25% tariff on French goods and a 100% tariff on wines and champagnes, while commentators said middle powers seek greater strategic autonomy.
- Speaking of France, Trump claimed he forced Emmanuel Macron, President of France, to change medicine prices, but France's Elysee Palace said Macron does not set prices and they `remained stable`.
- The episode became a diplomatic embarrassment after France publicly rebuked Trump's claim and online audiences mocked him, undermining his credibility on the world stage.
- In broader context, Mark Carney urged middle powers to unite economically, militarily and geopolitically, while observers said countries seek strategic autonomy in energy, food, critical minerals, finance and supply chains.
