One of President Trump’s most loyal goons proved so unpopular at a VIP dinner in Davos that people walked out as he spoke and a former vice president booed him, according to fellow attendees.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was berated by high-profile diners at the event in the Swiss mountain town, according to the Financial Times, which reported that people walked out of the awkward meal after “widespread jeering.”
The Wall Street Journal reported that Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, was one of the people who bolted for the door as Lutnick launched into a diatribe about what he described as the continent’s declining influence and energy policies that he had earlier complained were reliant on China. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore was named as one of the figures in the crowd who heckled him.
