Trump's first day back in office sparks debate at Davos forum
DAVOS, Switzerland — President Donald Trump’s first day back in office has sparked discussions at the World Economic Forum. His plans to increase drilling, exit the Paris climate deal, and create an “External Revenue Service” for tariffs are key topics. Leaders and executives are analyzing Trump’s approach, including his “America First” stance and its implications for Europe. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz are among those addressing these issues at the forum. Trump did not mention Ukraine in his inaugural address, despite previous claims of being able to resolve the conflict quickly. His absence of comments on the war contrasts with the focus of other leaders, including Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, who will speak at Davos.
