US EditionEU Leaders Take Stage in Davos as Trump Rocks Global Order
President Trump’s plan to buy Greenland faces European opposition and tariff threats amid discussions with 3,000 global leaders at the World Economic Forum, organizers said.
- On Jan. 19, the World Economic Forum's 56th annual meeting begins in Davos, Switzerland, as President Donald Trump presses to annex Greenland, framing it as a national security move amid diplomatic friction with European nations.
- Analysts note the weak commercial case for Greenland, with reporters citing the island's harsh environment as a key reason the plan lacks practical rationale.
- Organizers say this year's WEF gathers almost 3,000 global leaders, about 850 top CEOs and chairs, and a record 400 top political leaders including 64 heads of state, while President Donald Trump arrives with five cabinet secretaries.
- Leaders are gathering 'at a time when the stakes feel so high,' making the Greenland dispute likely to dominate Davos discussions as the 2026 Edelman Trust Barometer finds rising isolationism.
- On the Davos Promenade, unofficial conversations about AI will drive many discussions in hotels and sponsored houses, while Fortune hosts special programming this Wednesday at USA House.
