Trump's economic policies and "America First" agenda will undoubtedly significantly impact global markets. The conference's most anticipated speech will see CEOs, government leaders, and academics gather to hear what he has to say. Trump will commence his virtual address at 11 a.m. E.S.T. His speech will be followed by a question-and-answer session, where he will engage with top executives from numerous industries. He attended Davos twice during his first term. The WEF have been consistent in livestreaming each day's events since the start of the conference on Jan. 20——the same day as Trump's inauguration. Those interested in hearing what he has to say should be able to tune in to the forum's YouTube channel.

Donald Trump is coming back to Davos. This time, virtually. The freshly reinaugurated U.S. president is to speak Thursday to an international audience for the first time after returning to the White House three days earlier, with a speech and question-and-answer by video conference at the World Economic Forum’s annual event. The fourth day of the annual gathering also has featured Javier Milei, the brash Argentine president, and Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who became interim leader of Bangladesh after the longtime president was driven from power during a public uprising. Business and tech whizzes will get their turns too. Dario Amodei of Anthropic, maker of artificial intelligence model Claude, and chief AI scientist Yann LeCun of Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta will tackle the future of technology.

The US president is expected to deliver an eagerly-anticipated speech remotely to the annual gathering of world leaders and global elites via video link at 11 am (4pm GMT). After heralding a “new golden age” for the US, Mr Trump has kickstarted his time in office by signing a slew of executive orders, the potential impacts of which have reverberated around the Swiss alpine village. The newly inaugurated president has moved quickly to expand domestic energy production whilst withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement. He has also threatened steep tariffs on the EU, China, Mexico and Canada, hinted at further sanctions on Russia, pulled out of the World Health Organization, pledged to “take back” the Panama Canal and delayed the ban on TikTok.
