Delivered via video link, it was the Republican's first major speech to global business and political leaders since he was sworn in on Monday.
His appearance came after he sat down with Fox News’s Sean Hannity for his first TV interview since returning to the White House.
Mr Trump was questioned on his controversial decision to pardon almost all January 6 defendants, even those who had assaulted police officers, the future of TikTok, and the federal response to the Los Angeles wildfires.
During the interview he also floated abolishing FEMA, the federal agency charged with responding to all kinds of natural disasters and other emergencies across the nation, and leaving the task of responding to emergencies up to individual state governments instead.
