Trump Invites European CEOs To Dinner, Every Last 1 Of Them Does Same Thing At The Table
While President Donald Trump was in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum
(WEF), he invited a number of influential European CEOs to dinner.
The prestigious gathering turned out to be a major success, with every last one of the
business leaders doing the same exact thing while at the table with Trump.It should come
as no surprise at this point to hear that President Donald Trump did some major winning
in Davos this week.
Indeed, his track record just one year into his presidency is one marked by major success
and records set.
Still, what happened during a dinner Trump held for European CEOs in Switzerland will
have you applauding.
"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," President Trump declared in Davos, adding
that "when the United States grows, so does the world."
"American prosperity has created countless jobs around the globe and the drive for excellence,
creativity, and innovation in the United States has led to important discoveries that help
people everywhere live more prosperous and healthier lives," the President continued.According
to The Daily Caller, a senior administration official previewing President Trump's speech
told reporters it will deliver three principles.
"First is that America is open for business again, in the sense that there's been no
better time to build, to invest, to hire in the United States," said the official.
"The second theme that I think that you will hear the President speak to relates to
America's engagement in the world," they added.
"Finally, I think you'll hear the President articulate a vision of free and sovereign
nations cooperating towards shared goals — peace, security, prosperity."
While President Trump's remarks at the WEF went off with a bang, his biggest win unfolded
during a dinner for European CEOs.
Heads of companies like Nestle, Novartis, and Adidas were at the table, where they expressed
their growing confidence in American business now that Donald Trump is at the helm of the
country.
In a stunning moment, one by one, European titans of industry went around the table to
thank Trump for the passage of tax cuts and the easing of corporate tax burdens.
Almost every CEO had a new US-based investment or strategic business to announce.
The president of Seimens, Joe Kaeser, said, "Since you have been so successful in tax
reform we have decided to develop the next generation gas turbines in the United States."
Trump responded, "That's great!"The White House press pool provided a list of
all of the influential business leaders who attended President Trump's dinner in Davos:
Kasper Rorsted, Adidas (Apparel) — Germany Joe Kaeser, Siemens AG (Tech) — Germany
Heinrich Hiesinger, Thyssenkrupp AG (Industrials) — Germany
Eldar Saetre, Statoil ASA (Energy) — Norway Mark Schneider, Nestle SA (Food and Beverage)

Patrick Pouyanne, Total SA (Energy) — France Carols Brito, Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (Food

This was, perhaps, the greatest "America First" moment of the entire gathering in
Davos this week, yet it is not being reported by mainstream news outlets, which wasted all
of their coverage on the WEF by slamming Trump and mocking him for showing up at the prestigious
event.
The WEF has long been considered a globalist, out-of-touch conference, but Trump's visit
turned the gathering on its head.
President Donald Trump gave us fair warning before he was elected: We just might get tired
of all the winning that would take place under the leadership of the Trump administration,
he said.
Well, he was right about one thing — this rate of economic growth is unlike anything
we have ever seen.
However, I don't think I could ever get tired of seeing the United States experience
such resounding success on the world stage, though.
