Live from NPR News in Washington on Corva Coleman,
President Trump is speaking now at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
He's facing heavy criticism from European allies about his demands to take over Greenland.
But Trump began his speech by praising his own work on the U.S.
economy and repeatedly blaming the prior Biden administration.
After 12 months back in the White House, our economy is booming, growth is exploding.
Productivity is surging, investment is soaring, incomes are rising,
inflation has been defeated,
our previously open and dangerous border is closed and virtually impenetrable,
and the United States is in the midst of the fastest and most dramatic economic turnaround in our country's history.
Trump has sprinkled insults toward Europe in his speech,
He says some places in Europe aren't recognizable anymore,
and he said he meant that in a negative way.
He cited immigration and blamed energy policies that are intended to fight climate change.
The U.S.
Supreme Court hears a case today over whether President Trump has the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board.
NPR's Nina Totenberg reports.
Today's case involves Trump's attempt to fire economist Lisa Cook,
a Federal Reserve governor appointed by President Biden.
