US President Donald Trump is gearing up to make a highly anticipated virtual appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The event, scheduled for January 23, 2025, comes just days after Trump’s inauguration, which has already sent shockwaves around the globe.
As the world waits with bated breath, Argentina’s President Javier Milei has already set the tone for Trump’s appearance. In a fiery speech, Milei praised Trump’s commitment to freedom and slammed “woke ideology” as a “mental virus.” Milei’s comments are seen as a clear indication of the strong support Trump enjoys among some global leaders.
Trump’s virtual appearance is expected to be a major draw, with top CEOs from the banking and oil industries lined up to ask him questions. The event will provide a unique opportunity for Trump to outline his vision for the US economy and his plans for global trade.
Economists are warning that Trump’s policies could lead to inflation and have far-reaching consequences for the global economy. However, Trump’s supporters argue that his policies will boost economic growth and create jobs.
The European Commission has expressed its readiness to negotiate with Trump, but has also highlighted the EU’s diverging policy on climate. This sets the stage for a potentially tense exchange between Trump and European leaders.
