The World Economic Forum (WEF) is underway in Davos, Switzerland, with nearly 3,000 leaders convening to discuss global issues. The event is overshadowed by international tensions, including the potential for trade disputes between the US and Europe, driven by US interest in Greenland. Other concerns include Iran, Ukraine, AI, and the next head of the US Federal Reserve. Several prominent figures are scheduled to speak, including Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, He Lifeng, and Mark Carney. The US has sent its largest delegation ever, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stating that European retaliation would be "very unwise." In addition to formal discussions, business deals are expected to be negotiated throughout the week.
