ANALYSE - S'il y a une chose qu'on a beaucoup entendu des leaders à Davos cette semaine, c'est Merci monsieur le président et Bravo monsieur le président d'avoir baissé les impôts des entreprises . Si beaucoup de leaders du monde ne sont pas d'accord avec les visées protectionnistes de Donald Trump, sur ce point de la réduction des impôts, il n'y a pas de méprise. Les plus puissants de la planète s'entendent comme larrons en foire.
