Trump addressed the conference on Tuesday in a speech, during which he touted U.S. trade deals and the strong American economy.
“Today, I’m proud to declare the United States is in the midst of an economic boom, the likes of which the world has never seen before,” the president told other world leaders. “America is thriving. America is flourishing, and yes, America is winning again like never before.”
Gov. Abbot was in Davos to discuss the success of the economy in Texas.
“At an early meeting of world energy leaders @wef in @Davos I explained that if Texas was its own country we’d be the 4th largest producer of oil in the world. Texas succeeds because our focus is on free markets & innovation. We also lead America in wind power generation,” he tweeted.
