President Donald Trump told world leaders and bigwigs gathered in Davos the U.S. was now ‘open for business’ – then promised his ‘America First’ agenda didn’t mean the U.S. would go it alone.
‘I believe in America. As President of the United States, I will always put America First. Just like the leaders of other countries should put their countries first. But America First does not mean America alone,’ Trump said, in an excerpt released by the White House.
Trump spoke to world leaders on the second day of a trip to the global confab.
Before he spoke, a large band of horns and winds took the stage.

‘I am here today to represent the interests of the American People, and to affirm America’s friendship and partnership in building a better world. Like all nations represented at this forum, America hopes for a future in which everyone can prosper, and every child can grow up free from violence, poverty, and fear,’ Trump was to tell the crowd.
‘The world is witnessing the resurgence of a strong and prosperous America…There has never been a better time to hire, to build, to invest and to grow in the United States. AMERICA IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND WE ARE COMPETITIVE ONCE AGAIN.’
‘I believe in America. As President of the United States, I will always put America First. Just like the leaders of other countries should put their countries first. But America First does not mean America alone.’
