Donald Trump will take centre stage at Davos next week when he delivers an address to the World Economic Forum.
The President will mark his return to the global stage when he appears virtually at the annual gathering of business and political leaders in Switzerland on Thursday – three days after his inauguration.
Trump’s return to the White House will overshadow the gathering of nearly 3,000 participants, including 900 chief executives and chairmen of top companies and 60 heads of state and government.
Many will be anxious about Trump’s plans to ramp up import tariffs, threatening to spark a global trade war, as well as his attempts to cajole allies to spend much more on defence and his apparent ambivalence about the fate of Ukraine, whose president Volodymyr Zelenskyy will address Davos on Tuesday.
Sir Martin Sorrell, the advertising mogul and boss of S4 Capital, who is a regular Davos attendee, suggested Trump’s presidency would have a positive effect.
He told the Times: ‘Trump is good for business.’
