Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gave one of the most caustic speeches at Davos, saying, “great powersFor arming their economic power and calling on the “middle powers” to act together, “because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”

Speaking at his “Peace Council” signing ceremony on Thursday, Trump criticized Spain over its defense spending.

“I don’t know what’s going on with Spain, why don’t they do it? They want a free ride, right?” Trump said. “Every country except Spain is up 5%. I don’t know why. We need to talk to Spain.”

Trump has it threatened before There is “no excuse” for making Spain pay for missing defense spending targets and for underpaying in a recent meeting with Finnish President Alexander Stubb in Madrid.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said last June that he considered the country’s current defense spending of 2 percent of GDP “adequate, realistic and compatible with the welfare state.”

Former Swiss president Karin Keller-Sutter also faced criticism from Trump this week.

Trump, who called her the “prime minister” of Switzerland, said he received the call from Keller-Sutter on Wednesday after she threatened to raise tariffs on Swiss goods to 30 percent.

“He said, ‘No, no, no, you can’t do that, 30%.’ You can’t do that. We are a small, small country,” he said. I said, ‘Yeah, but you have a big, big deficit,'” Trump said. “He just rubbed me the wrong way, I’ll tell you the truth.”

Trump said after the call that he raised Swiss tariffs to 39 percent, marking one of the highest tariffs his administration has imposed on a single country.

President of the USA agreed at the end of last year Reduction of tariffs on Swiss products to 15%. Keller-Sutter’s term expired in December.

It’s not just political leaders who have angered Trump. US President is a strong critic of wind energyaimed at windmills.

“There are windmills all over Europe,” Trump said in a speech in Davos. “There are windmills everywhere, and they fail. One thing I’ve noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses and the worse that country does.”

Trump added: “China makes almost all the windmills, but I couldn’t find any wind farms in China. Have you thought about that? That’s a good idea. They’re smart. China is very smart. They make them, they sell them to riches, they sell them to stupid people who buy them, but they don’t use them.”

Global wind power China has responded by defending its renewables strategy and reaffirming its commitment to promoting low-carbon energy.

Trump’s comments were also rejected by EU climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra and Vestas CEO Henrik Andersen.

“We take a completely different approach here. We feel that climate change has huge economic consequences,” Hoekstra told CNBC on Wednesday.

In a private interview, the CEO of Denmark’s Vestas also took issue with Trump’s claims that wind energy doesn’t work. “We’re going to continue on the same path,” Andersen told CNBC on Thursday.
