Trump in Davos: US president criticises climate activists
President Trump says he has turned around the US economy, and dismisses climate activists as prophets of doom.
While his impeachment trial is under way, US President Donald Trump is thousands of kilometres away in Switzerland – attending the World Economic Forum.
The theme this year is sustainability, with scientists warning of catastrophic consequences if enough is not done to avert the climate emergency.
But Trump used his speech to criticise climate activists, calling them “prophets of doom”.
