I'm back in the NYT with a piece on my favourite micro-genre: climbing games.

Didn't he say exactly the same in Davos like verbatim?
Trump: "I spoke with Macron. He was not at that time wearing sunglasses. He said, 'No no Donald. I will not do this. You're asking me to double drug prices?' I said, 'If you don't, I'm gonna charge you a 25% tariff on your wines, champagnes, & everything else.' He said, 'Like I said, I will do it.'"
