Donald Trump's 'America First' philosophy worries Bill Gates, wife Melinda

Microsoft Corporation co-founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda on Tuesday expressed their concern over US President Donald Trump's "America First" philosophy in their annual letter to the world.

"More broadly, the America First worldview concerns me. It's not that the US shouldn't look out for its people.
The question is how best to do that," said Bill Gates.

He said that engaging with the world instead of withdrawing from it has proven over time to benefit everyone, including Americans, Xinhua news agency reported.

"Even if we measured everything the government did only by how much it helped American citizens, global engagement would still be a smart investment," he said.
