Mnuchin throws snowball at CNBC host during Davos coverage

In a video posted to Twitter Friday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is seen joking with the anchors of CNBC’s “Squawk Box” during their coverage from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, including throwing a snowball at host Andrew Ross Sorkin.

“That time the US Treasury Secretary threw a snowball at me…,” Sorkin tweeted, alongside a video of Mnuchin tossing a snowball and giving him a thumbs up. 

Mnuchin appeared on “Squawk Box” after President Trump’s Davos speech praising the U.S. economy. He echoed Trump’s remarks on tax reform in the U.S., saying it was a “game changer” for American businesses.

“As the president said, we were with many CEOs last night that said as soon as the tax plan was changed, they’re moving operations to the U.S.,” he continued.

In his speech Friday, Trump declared America “open for business” and said while he puts America first, “America first does not mean America alone.”

“When the United States grows, so does the world,” Trump said.

Trump also touted the creation of 2.4 million jobs since he was elected in Nov. 2016, and said his administration’s efforts to cut regulation and enact tax reform have sparked the U.S. economy.

“America is open for business and we are competitive once again,” Trump said.

Economic numbers released after Trump’s speech showed the gross domestic product grew at a rate of 2.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017, below economists’ projections of about 3 percent.
