Davos sneak peek: Trump, Bessent bring American bravado to world stage
"Zoom in: Bessent, who's leading the U.S. delegation on Trump's behalf, plans daily press conferences ahead of Trump's arrival on Wednesday. Bessent's themes will be "The Smart Money is on America" and "America First Trade is Transforming the World." Bessent will include direct criticism of the global elite, and draw a sharp contrast between U.S. exceptionalism and European economic stagnation, an administration source tells Axios."
"Bessent - Trump's point person on economic, financial and monetary issues - plans to exude confidence about the sustained global dominance of the American economy. "At America's 250th anniversary, President Trump has ushered in an era of Parallel Prosperity-a decade of economic expansion in which Main Street and Wall Street will grow together," Bessent says in prepared remarks seen by Axios."
Daily U.S. delegation briefings will promote themes of "The Smart Money is on America" and "America First Trade is Transforming the World."
