As Davos Convenes, Deference to Trump Has Replaced Everything
The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- The World Economic Forum, known for gathering global elites to address critical issues, faces skepticism due to the involvement of wealthy executives who often benefit from the status quo.
- This year's forum is particularly challenged by geopolitical tensions and the U.S. presidency of Donald Trump, who opposes multilateral cooperation and promotes protectionist policies.
- President Trump, a key attendee, contradicts the forum's pro-globalization stance by initiating trade wars and threatening actions against NATO allies, highlighting internal contradictions within the event.
- The traditional ideals of the forum clash with current global power dynamics, leading to a sense of resignation among organizers that no single set of principles can unify participants this year.
