Donald Trump can take refuge with his friends among the global elite in the mountain resort of doubles.

But he can't escape the teenage activist who's accused him and the rest of the world of leading us into a climate apocalypse.

No helicopter here for Greta Tamberg, but she took her place early in the hall.

Is Greta right on climate change?

Mr.

President, I'm a big believer in the environment.

The environment is very important.

You rolled back environmental regulations, Mr.

President, this is a man who wants described global warming as a hoax and shut the door on the Paris climate deal.

Welcomed on stage by musicians in full national dress, Trump did try out a new tune, winning applause by backing a plan to plant a trillion trees the kind of big number lights, but soon returned to a more familiar theme.

To embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial profits of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse.

He didn't name her, but he didn't need to.

She put climate change on the agenda here, but as his impeachment trial formally began today, Trump used his platform is a dry run for re election.

Years of economic stagnation have given way to a roaring Geiser of opportunity.

U.

S stock markets have soared by more than 50% since my election, adding more than $19 trillion to household wealth and boosting for a one K's pensions and college savings accounts for millions of hard working families.

The claims of economic prowess were in part spurious, but that's never stopped him before.

Donald Trump has just disappeared down here, having given his speech here.

It travels.

He's thousands of miles away from the impeachment drama unfolding back home.

But better face the climate heat here in the cold legal arguments in the U.

S.

Another corridor, another headline.

Speaker Greta, do you think President Trump is listening to you inside?

She didn't hold back.

One year ago.

I came to divorce and told you that our house is on fire, I said, I want to do to panic.

I've been warned that telling people to panic about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do.

But don't worry, it's fine.

Trust me.

I've done this before, and I can assure you it doesn't lead to anything.

The wealthy and influential here detected in Trump not a Damascene conversion to the environmental cause, but at best, a devil's one.

As business starts to talk about action, Trump knows he must to Is it just lip service, though, has committed to plant in one Chilean trees.

That earned him a lot of applause, so I think that's really a good thing.

On the other hand, I think it wasn't really that speech wasn't so appropriate for all other stuff.

Because the mission statement of the World Economic Forum for a Forum is committed to improving the state of the world on his mission, statement of the speech was in America are the greatest for the president, Davos is about deals.

He talked trade with the new European Commission.

President Purcell of underlying You're a very tough negotiator, which is bad news for us.

Anti again lavished praise on what he called the UK is wonderful new prime minister talking up the prospect of a tremendous trade deal with Britain after Brexit, many will believe it when they see it.

Climate protesters fight their way up to see the president safe inside the devil security bubble.

He didn't see them worlds apart.

The one on fire.

Thea other Cooley Putting America first.

Well, now is the former Danish Prime Minister, Hella Thorning Schmidt.

Do you believe Trump the tree planted is warming to the idea that climate change needs to be tackled?

No, not at all.

I mean, we had a president here today who didn't even mention the word climate change.

I think they're so now there are only a handful of states of government in the world right now who could do a speech like that and completely ignore the suffering of so many people who are impacted by climate change?

We only have to look to Australia.

He didn't mentioned it mentioned anything about that.

So no, he is not convinced there is a climate change it all climate change it all.

He didn't even talk about the crisis that people are suffering from.

But does he have a point about the profits of doom that if people think it's too hopeless, that they'll sort of give up and you need to take the public with you?

No, I don't think he's right because he's almost neglecting that.

They have a point and I think that we can be climate activist.

We can talk about that Climate crisis is a really big deal and start acting, and the point is that it's not too late.

There's still so much we can do.

But of course, if the American president is going to do a quite long speech here today, well, it doesn't even mention climate change.

We are a bit doomed because then the biggest economy that will not take action.

But business is shifting or at least is talking more about climate change.

Do you think that Trump and other world leaders will follow that lead?

Follow the money Really so suddenly?

Degree they have to.

I mean, we're seeing big states in America right now, which just ships them completely because they feel and see the climate change of the consequences of that.

And we're also seeing big business do the same.

So I do think that it's very sad to see political leaders being the last to change their mind.

They're supposed to be leaders, and I didn't see Trump as a leader trying to go against climate climate change today, Devils is usually about money, really, and a lot of money.

Now Donald Trump likes money.

He's made no secret of that.

Can he these talk been talking up the prospect of a deal with the U and the U.

K on trade?

Do you see either of those deals in the offing soon?

No, no, not at all.

I compliments.

I know a lot about great deals, and I think you'll be very, very hard to get a trade deal for the UK that both satisfies the biggest market for the UK, the European Union, and also satisfies the US The European Union will be extremely conscience that they don't want a Singapore on tames.

They don't want a country next to the European Union, which are lowering standards on environmental environmental standards, social standards.

And that's why this deal is going to be hard.

And I think to do it at the same time as negotiating with Americans will be actually impossible.

But can't the U.

K play the U in the US off against each other?

No, I don't think they can, because I think as always, you will be very clear what they want and they will be very clear that the UK cannot have their cake and eat it.

And that means that you can't get a trade deal that allows a ll kinds of trade unless you live up to certain standards.

We have very high standards in the European Union, and we will expect that if the U K wants to get trading access, that they have similar standards and that it's that there would be a big deal when they want to do a trading deal with you, might Americans will it come down to a sort of fish for financing when it comes to the UK is deal with the you specifically, Might the U.

K give a little bit on fishing rights in return for the you giving a little bit on financial service is right.

Everyone will have to give something in the end, and this will be, of course, long negotiations.

But it's very hard to do a trade deal and the best trade deals that we have, For example, you Canada.

It took a long time to get that just right.

So if we want a good trade deal, it will take its time.

So I think we have thio.

So many other cases we have to see is a quality we want always its speed.

But because obvious quality, where both parties are satisfied, it will take some time.

And it would be difficult to do with the Americans at the same time.

Put a date on.

And then when do you think you came?

Might get an America deal.

Antony, you go.

You know, I'm not going to put a date on it.

I think this is a hard, hard thing.

And this is something that we haven't discussed so much in the UK how hard it actually is because the you will not accept that the U.

K It's just they're lowering standards.

So they will say, If you want access with your products, you also have high standards gonna be years than I think.
