Will This Year's Davos Be a 'Trump Festival'?

The World Economic Forum in Davos begins on January 19th with the theme 'The Spirit of Dialogue'. This year's event stands out for the expected presence of Donald Trump, who reportedly self-invited, and the first time since 2020 he will attend in person. Trump's presence is considered important due to trade negotiations and the US economy. Simultaneously, this year's forum is the first without Klaus Schwab as president, following allegations that were ultimately deemed unfounded. André Hoffmann, co-chairman of the Forum, has publicly criticized Trump, while Anthony Scaramucci, a former Trump associate, will present his own podcast during Trump's speech. This year's event is expected to be particularly interesting due to the contrasts and potential dialogues that will arise.
