Trump's presidency sparks renewed interest in World Economic Forum, says WEF chief
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is seeing increased interest due to Donald Trump's presidency, even though he is not attending Davos this week. WEF President Borge Brende noted that participants are eager to understand Trump's policies. Trump will address attendees via video link, allowing CEOs to ask questions. Members of his administration are expected to attend, enhancing the U.S. presence at the event. The WEF is also undergoing leadership changes, with Klaus Schwab stepping back. Brende emphasized the organization's commitment to addressing past workplace allegations and improving its internal culture.
