Trump delivers Davos speech as tariffs on Europe are called off amid NATO 'framework'

Businessinsider reported that US President Donald Trump delivered a much-anticipated speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.

His arrival followed a slight travel hiccup caused by an electrical fault on Air Force One, and reactions to the address were mixed. Reporters in the room fact-checked the president's praise for the US economy, and Trump announced he had called off new tariffs on Europe, saying there would be a "framework" in place under an agreement with NATO with more to come on what that will mean.

The Davos programme also added Elon Musk to speak with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at 4:30 p.m., and California Governor Gavin Newsom is scheduled for a panel at 8:30 a.m. Live coverage will continue through day four as attendees parse the speech and await details on the NATO framework.
