In virtual remarks to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump on Thursday spouted many false or misleading economic claims. Here’s a quick rundown.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would press the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates “immediately,” rekindling a fight over the historically independent U.S. central bank.

"I think I know interest rates much better than they do, and I think I know it certainly much better than the one who's primarily in charge of making that decision," Trump says

U.S. stock futures were moving lower in early action on Friday, on the heels of the first record for the S&P 500 of 2024. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 15 points, or 0.03%, to 44,732
