Trump said the "fear fritters" had been wrong in predicting the prospect of population crisis, famine and oil depletion. According to the White House boss, those who warn of global warming are getting out of control or other environmental disasters are "successors of the past stupid prophets."

After the speech, Trump told reporters that his Davos trip was to meet "the most important people in the world and bring great deals".
