Huge lines, laughs and gasps as Trump addresses Davos elites
(AFP) It looked like a rock concert: hundreds of the world's rich and powerful stood in a massive line for a precious seat to hear US President Donald Trump deliver his speech in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.
After a two-hour wait, the doors to the World Economic Forum's congress hall closed to the disappointment of many who had to scramble for spots in four overflow rooms to watch him on television screens.
The exclusive crowd included executives of top companies, academics and politicians -- even the president of Latvia, Edgars Rinkevics, was stuck in line at one point before an aide guided him elsewhere.
