Donald Trump is set to speak at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, marking his first international appearance since his reinauguration. The event will feature a speech and Q&A session with a diverse lineup of speakers, including Javier Milei of Argentina and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus.
Focus on Business and Technology
The agenda also includes discussions on the future of technology, with experts like Dario Amodei of Anthropic and Yann LeCun of Meta exploring AI advancements. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen will engage in talks on energy transition with the head of the International Energy Agency.
Trump's Impact on Davos
Trump's policies, such as withdrawing from the Paris climate deal and promoting infrastructure investments tied to AI, have stirred conversations at the forum. Despite criticisms, his efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza before the inauguration received recognition from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
NATO's Concerns on Ukraine
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte expressed concerns over potential negotiations between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the conflict in Ukraine. Rutte emphasized the importance of maintaining support for Ukraine to prevent unfavorable outcomes.
Trump's nominee as envoy for special missions, Richard Grenell, highlighted the challenges in resolving the Russia-Ukraine war and suggested that Trump may consider applying pressure on Putin through economic or military means.
Overall, the forum in Davos continues to be a platform for global leaders to address pressing issues and explore solutions to complex geopolitical challenges.
