At the World Economic Forum in Davos, the President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, left a dinner during a controversial speech delivered by the American Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick.

His speech, which included harsh criticisms of Europe, provoked boos from the audience, including from former American Vice President Al Gore. The dinner, hosted by Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, was interrupted before dessert due to negative reactions. The atmosphere was described as tense, and Lutnick's comments suggesting a return to coal as an energy source were met with discontent. Relations between the US and the EU are strained, especially after President Trump's threats regarding new tariffs on certain European countries.
