1st LD: Trump says Europe "not heading in right direction"


DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Europe is "not heading in the right direction," arguing that parts of the continent have become "not even recognizable" in what he described as a "very negative" way.

Trump made the remarks while addressing the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

In his speech, Trump renewed criticism of Europe's migration policies and reiterated his opposition to green agenda policies, again labeling them a "Green New Scam." He also advocated expanding fossil-fuel production and speeding up approvals for new nuclear power projects, saying Europe's energy situation had reached "catastrophic" levels, marked by high prices and low supplies.
