US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick was heckled at a World Economic Forum dinner in Davos hosted by BlackRocks Larry Fink, according to people at the event.
The gathering on Tuesday night descended into uproar after combative remarks from Lutnick, the people said, with widespread jeering, some guests walking out and appeals for calm from Fink, head of the worlds largest asset manager and interim co-chair of WEF.
Lutnick had earlier on Tuesday written an op-ed for the FT in which he said: Were not going to Davos to uphold the status quo. Were going to confront it head on.
He also wrote: We are here at Davos to make one thing crystal clear: With President Trump, capitalism has a new sheriff in town.
