Donald Trump's address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, drew massive crowds, with hundreds of elites lining up for hours to secure a seat. The high demand resulted in overflow rooms for those unable to get into the main hall. Attendees included top executives, academics, politicians, and even the president of Latvia. The event took place amidst rising tensions between the US and Europe, partly due to Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland. Some attendees expressed concerns that Trump's speech would be provocative and overshadow the forum's agenda.
