This claim is accurate. Here is my reasoning:

• Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explicitly stated these exact words during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January 2026¹.
• He said: "The Trump Administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point — globalization has failed the West and the United States of America," calling it "a failed policy"¹².
• The U.S. Commerce Department's official social media accounts amplified the statement with posts captioned "Globalization has FAILED"¹³.
• Multiple independent news outlets reported on his remarks verbatim, confirming the exact wording and context of the statement¹².

Overall validity: 100%

1. Secretary Lutnick said that globalization is a failed policy
2. Secretary Lutnick said that globalization has left America behind
3. America will no longer give in to globalization
