Trump dismissed climate activists as misguided “pessimists” in Davos, clashing with the consensus on climate change held by pretty much everyone else there
U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed climate activists as misguided “pessimists” in Davos on Tuesday, rejecting the consensus held not just by teenage campaigner Greta Thunberg but pretty much everyone at the World Economic Forum.workers, Trump contrasted the U.S. with the EU, saying,hile many European countries struggle with crippling energy costs, the American energy revolution is saving American families $2,500 every year in lowering electric bills.
Trump also told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that he expects “tangible progress” toward a trade agreement between the United States and European Union in the near future.
