President Trump speaks to the World Economic Forum and gives world leaders an invitation and a warning.
Come make your product in America, and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on Earth. But if you don't, then very simply, you will have to pay a tariff.
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Friday, January 24th, and this is Morning Wire. Trump allies clash as the newly elected president pushes the U.S. toward AI dominance.
And chaos at CNN as the 24-hour news network struggles to adapt to a pro-Trump era.

President Trump addressed the World Economic Forum yesterday, laying out his economic vision for the country.
Here to break it all down is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. Hey Cabot, a lot to get to related to Trump as usual. Let's start with that speech to the WEF.
What did we hear from Trump there? Yeah, the president was not able to be in Davos for this year's summit, but offered a virtual address, his first to world leaders since taking office for a second time. The president had a simple message for the gathered dignitaries and elites. America is open for business, but if you don't make your product here, you will face tariffs.
Under the Trump administration, there will be no better place on earth to create jobs, build factories, or grow a company than right here in the good old USA. The economic confidence is soaring like we haven't seen in many, many decades, maybe not at all.
Trump went on to demand world leaders begin dropping interest rates and lowering oil prices, warning them that tariffs would be increased on those who resisted. And he also had a specific message for allies in NATO, demanding that they begin paying their fair share in defense spending.
I'm also going to ask all NATO nations to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, which is what it should have been years ago. It was only at 2% and most nations didn't pay until I came along.
And it is worth noting here, NATO Secretary General Mark Root, who in the past has clashed with Trump, struck a much friendlier tone after yesterday's address, saying Trump is right.
I hear many people here whining and complaining about Trump. And I would say the problem is not Trump or the US, the problem is Europe. The problem is Europe because at the moment we are not spending enough.
Now, this address comes as the president is quickly reshaping the federal government with a large number of executive orders, as we've documented, particularly on immigration. What's the latest there?
Yeah, Trump has already deployed 1,500 active duty service members to secure the southern border. And that is just the start. In the coming weeks, the White House says Trump is planning to send an additional 10,000 troops, along with helicopters and intelligence crews trained in detecting border crossers. They're also reportedly planning on using DoD bases in the area as a holding center for illegal aliens from around the country. who are awaiting deportation the trump administration has already arrested more than 1500 illegal immigrants in cities across the country most of whom have been charged in the past with violent crimes one of those arrested was a haitian gang member with 17 prior convictions as he was being loaded into a police car he had this message i'm not going back to haiti you feel me yo biden forever bro thank obama for everything that he did for me bro
