Scholz vows to 'defend free trade' after Trump tariff threat

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday vowed to "defend free trade as the basis of our prosperity", a day after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs and taxes on trade partners.

"Isolation comes at the expense of prosperity," Scholz told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "We will defend free trade as the basis of our prosperity, together with other partners."

"Europe is committed to free, fair world trade."

The leader of Europe's biggest economy, which is headed for February 23 elections, stressed that EU-US ties must remain strong but also said that "cool heads" would be needed as Trump was sure to "keep the world on tenterhooks". ...

The Chancellor also made it clear he has no use for free speech, saying Elon Musk should know Germany/Europe's "freedom of speech" doesn’t accept "extreme right positions":

When have European socialists ever been right about anything?

How can there be "free" trade with a Communist China, which has no private property and no personal rights?

Their viewpoint is so far around the left that they can't see the mastheads of the middle for the curvature of the Earth. No wonder they call everything in the sane part of the spectrum "extreme". They can't even begin to see just how far left they are. Stinking totalitarians, anyway.

If Scholz believes in what he says, then he should immediately tell the EU to stop the 10% tariffs the EU imposes on American automobiles.

If he does not, then call him out.  Loudly

This is the kind of basura with which WEF attendees concern themselves: Spain's leftist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed his proposal to eliminate anonymity for all social media users.
Quote
Laura Powell
@LauraPowellEsq
Speaking at the WEF, the Prime Minister of Spain says he wants to “force all [social media] platforms to link every user account to an European Digital Identity.” He argues this is necessary in order to combat “hate speech” and “misinformation,” an example of which is that “the state is a scam working against the interests of citizens.” He also wants to make sure “social media CEOs are held personally accountable for noncompliance with laws and norms in their platforms” in the form of stiff fines and believes “the tech-billionaires want to overthrow democracy.”

We must fight tooth and nail against the global ruling class’s attempt to shut down our right to speak.

Trump to Address Globalist Elites in Davos with First Major Foreign Policy Speech

BREITBART
by Simon Kent
23 Jan 2025

President Donald Trump on Thursday will make an online appearance at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, addressing globalist elites with what is expected to be his first major foreign policy announcements.

Trump’s virtual appearance before the annual gathering in Switzerland comes after he told Russian President Vladimir Putin via social media he should negotiate over Ukraine immediately, or face what he called taxation, tariffs and sanctions, as Breitbart News reported.

The new president’s live video appearance comes with banking and oil industry CEOs given the chance to lob questions at Trump, himself a successful businessman who made his fortune in real estate.

Excerpt:
In a move that has resonated deeply with conservative circles, Javier Milei, Argentina’s President, made waves at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. While he didn’t literally tell them to go ‘bleep themselves’, his message was clear and delivered with a finesse that was both pointed and polite.



That’s next-level trolling!

Milei did it again.

He went to the WEF to tell them to go f**k themselves basically.

YES!

Finally, a reason to learn Spanish.

It would be a wonderful thing if more countries signed on to this ideology. The WEF would collapse.

WTH. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear went to WEF to kiss the commies' rings.  *****rollingeyes*****  @Polly Ticks

@Smokahontas2024
Oh look, @GovAndyBeshear’s  out there at the WEF, schmoozing with the globalist crowd who think they can shove their Green New Energy scam down our throats in Kentucky. Like we needed another reminder that the 'plandemic' was just a massive wealth transfer operation, right? You wrecked our small businesses so you could roll out the red carpet for your fancy investors, all while our loved ones were dropping like flies from the 'death shot.' Not only did you sell out our state and betray the country, but you also had the audacity to raid our unemployment benefits and retirement funds. What a legacy, Governor!

Again, when have European socialists been right about anything?

America is not Europe, not the E.U., and not Germany.  We will go our own way and do what's best for American interests, not the Globalists', not the Chinese Communist Party's, not the UN's, not the EU's, not the Europeans', nor the interests of the many unelected international organizations that seek to enslave the World.
