to discuss in greater detail what we just heard the president say america first does not mean america alone as long as it's in america's interest as long as america remains number one this is fairly clear he's talking about trading rules he wants fair trade everybody wants fair trade but the devil is in the detail what are the rules how do you enforce the rules who enforces the rules and how do you leave something and it's fairly clear he is not a multilateral davos ma'am so he really does appear to believe that america can determine the rules of trade thank you enforce the rules of trade rather than trust its fate in the hands of multilaterally negotiated agreements which is a system that america actually before him has put in place absolutely you know that was much of the legacy of bretton woods institutions and. experience from the great depression that we need each other badly right but he seems keen to up and that let's talk about his presence at davos i mean he was this star of the show what do you make of the fact that he's the first u.s. president in almost two decades to make an appearance at the world economi

america first, yes, but an america welcoming the world. i will always put americast, just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also. but america first does not mean america alone. when the united states grows, so does the world. but at the end of a week in which the us imposed extra charges on some imported goods from china, he played down talk of a trade war. nevertheless, there was a warning. we cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others. we support free trade, but it needs to be fair, and it needs to be reciprocal. because in the end, unfair trade undermines us all. some stood to applaud, but it wasn't the ovation given to president xi of china last year. this hasn't been a complete meeting of minds, but then again it was never going to be. that said, donald trump has been more conciliatory than many would have expected, and the audience have reacted more warmly. it may be that davos 2018 turns out to be a win—win. and the president was in conciliatory, almost repentant mood over th

the united states i will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also. but america first does not mean america. >> trump added that america is open for business, and he touted the booming u.s. stock market and the reform slashing corporate taxes. davos loves that. earlier the floor belonged to the french president emmanuel macron who urged the west to push back against protectionism and nationalism. >> translator: we are moving back again towards strategies, greater protection, fragmentation of what wtos have done in the past, and -- what globalization has been able to achieve. >> so two very different visions competing at the world's globalist gathering, a year after the populist wave take brought donald trump to power. joining me to discuss this is editorial director of france's leading newspaper shirley coffman and from new york richard who is president on council relations and author of "a world in disarray." welcome to you both. let me begin by asking you because i believe you were in the room when president trump spoke. how did the speech go down and was he more friendly than perhaps you

america is the place to do business. so, come to america where you can innovate, create and build. i believe in america. president of the united states, i will always put america first, just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first, also. but, america first does not mean america alone. >> mr. trump there brought up a familiar campaign theme and crafted it for the audience of global leaders. >> we will enforce our trade laws and restore integrity to our trading system. only by insisting on fair and res reciprocal trade can we create a system that works not just for the u.s., but all nations. >> let's put it in focus. the profession sor from london, a pleasure to have you on the show. talk about the president's speech in davos, it was highly anticipated. were there surprises, in your estimation? >> it's well known that president trump, on this occasion, stuck to the script during the speech. i think the speech was reasonably well received. he didn't really change tact very much. what he's done is over a series of speeches, laid out the position he laid out in davos. the issue i c

america. as president of the united states, i will always put america first, just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also. but americarica alone. when the united states grows, so those of the world. american prosperity has created cou ntless jobs american prosperity has created countless jobs all around the globe, and the drive for excellence, creativity and innovation in the us has led to important discoveries that help people everywhere live more prosperous and far healthier lives. and that is really the theme of this conference, where they have spoken a lot about there has been this surge in the economic wealth, but how do we make sure that those who are not necessarily benefited up and tell now share from that 12? donald trump has a very interesting ta ke donald trump has a very interesting take on that, and he is very much america focus. it was the scene of his election campaign in 2015, when he spoke about forgotten communities, in even those have been lifted up giving the course of his presidency. the real question for business leaders lobby, ederson disconnect between what donald trump wa nts to disconnect be

first he means america determines the rules america enforces the rules and america can unilaterally withdraw when they feel the rules have been violent tear up an old rule book and write a new one yet not going down well with a lot of partners but at same time different this reining in and making sure that intellectual property is respected that has to resonate in germany which is such a creative and innovative economy is it's true and the german companies of course a big on one engineering are big on technology companies like siemens for example or like a kook i was which was the robot maker which was sold to the chinese i think that's in the an important important issue there but having said is very true i think trump actually indicated when he was referring to the t p p countries that he is willing to talk to them and he indicated on a bilateral basis and not necessarily with the whole block that's right he said individually or small groups small groups i guess that you can exploit weaknesses individually of course if you talk to not to as big block like the euro

america america stands for political stability seventy percent agree best days as chancellor are over sixty seven percent agree and merkel's c.d.u. neglects concerns over refugees according to fifty nine percent. of the german government's most important task by far is still the refugee issue even though it's less politically charged than it was a year ago. when asked if families of war refugees should be allowed to join them here in germany forty one percent said yes forty eight percent said no and if new elections were held this sunday germans would not vote much differently than a month ago the c.d.u. c.s.u. would receive thirty three percent of the vote the s.p.d. twenty one percent the f.t. would get thirteen percent of the vote and the f.t.p. nine percent the left party would also get nine percent and the green party eleven percent subtle variations only with the conservatives and the left party. ok let's break down these numbers now with our political correspondent kate brady here in the suv studio good morning carrie looking at these numbers what do they mean for the upcoming coalition talks this week and it's quite clear that both the social democrats and the conservatives know that going into these exploratory talks on sunday to discuss something which fifty two percent of germans quite clearly aren't all that keen on and so they know that if this is going to work or if these exploratory talks are going to move on to coalition negotiations for a grand coalition and the deal has to be very very good forty five percent of germans are in favor of this grand coalition which seems like quite a large number first qualms but when you compare that say four years ago when the last of the current coalition was being formed sixty six percent of germans were in favor of that's a huge difference over fareed or four years that is a massive falloff and there's a lot of drama and tension and in the background to these talks you know when you when you think that the last one's failed the former talks failed the disco ball months ago now if these break down on sunday ok they're exploratory talks but if they don't amount to anything what are all america's options that well she's got two main options if these exploratory talks don't succeed she has a minority government which she has repeatedly said that she does not want and so that would be quite a grueling process from moscow she'd have to get a new majority for every piece of legislation to pass through parliament and the other option of course would be a snap elections and those would have to be cold by the german president from. now by calling those as the fear among both of the two main parliamentary groups that they would lose seats in parliament and also the concern that the far right a.f.p. would also gain more seats and of course for all parties involved it's very very expensive to suddenly launch another campaign just a lot of people so you might not. already government is the most likely possibility if these talks break down you know machall still does have considerable support but looking at these numbers her trajectory is definitely to the downside could she see as a resu
