So I think you have a brand new United States.” That was Donald Trump’s boast in his speech to the business elite gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos. So how, if at all, is America “new”? How might this belief of Mr Trump’s affect his global economic agenda? Why did Mr Trump, who shocked Davos, by stating at his inaugural that “Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength”, become only the second US president to visit the annual meeting in Switzerland, after Bill Clinton, in 2000?
「所以我認爲你看到的是一個全新的美國。」唐納•川普(Donald Trump)向齊聚達佛斯世界經濟論壇(WEF)的商界精英發表演講時吹噓稱。那麼,如果真是如此,美國到底「新」在哪裏呢?川普的這一信念將如何影響他的全球經濟議程?爲什麼曾因在就職典禮上宣稱「保護將帶來巨大繁榮和優勢」而震驚達佛斯的川普,能成爲繼2000年比爾•柯林頓(Bill Clinton)之後第二位赴瑞士參加這一年度盛會的美國總統?
