Businesses set up taskforces to fight Trump tweets

Business leaders meeting at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos have been discussing how the future may lie under a Donald Trump presidency.

Bosses are worried their companies may find themselves at the centre of a Twitter storm, as seen by General Motors, Ford and Lockheed Martin, and it may affect share prices.

Companies told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Business Editor Simon Jack they are setting up "rapid-response Donald Trump tweet teams" to counteract his use of social media.

"If they fall under the spotlight and he gets up one morning and decides to have a go at them, they've got some answer ready to go."
