The Changing Mood in Davos
This year's World Economic Forum in Davos reflects a shift in global sentiment, particularly with Donald Trump's return to the White House. Attendees are navigating a mix of uncertainty, hope, and skepticism about the new administration's direction and its impact on international relations. Europe's leaders, facing challenges like the ongoing war in Ukraine and shifting power dynamics, are questioning the continent's role in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. The mood contrasts sharply with past events, as attendees find themselves pensive, closely observing developments rather than engaging in the usual optimistic discourse.
