Trump to Address World Economic Forum Virtually

President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to address the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, virtually on January 23, just three days after his inauguration on January 20. WEF President Børge Brende noted the significant interest in understanding Trump's policy priorities during this gathering, which will focus on global collaboration amid rising geopolitical tensions. Other notable leaders attending the forum include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, highlighting the event's emphasis on current global challenges. Trump's previous appearances at the WEF in 2018 and 2020 emphasized nationalist themes, contrasting with the forum's multilateral focus. His administration's anticipated policies, particularly regarding trade and tariffs, are expected to dominate discussions at the meeting. The theme for this year's WEF is 'Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,' reflecting the need for cooperative strategies in a rapidly changing world.
