The Davos Forum, where leaders from all over the world gather together, has also emerged as a variable for all pending issues.

The secretary-general of the World Trade Organization opposed President Trump's tariff policy stance, but expressed his position to keep a close eye on it first.

[Ngozi Okonjoiweala / World Trade Organization (WTO) Secretary General: My attitude and approach is to keep calm. Let's look at what policies are actually enacted and implemented before we get too excited.]

The EU Commission president has shown willingness to cooperate with the second Trump administration, but at the same time has stressed that he will protect European interests.

[Urzula von der Leyen / EU Commission President: Our top priority is to engage early, discuss common interests, and be ready to negotiate. We will be pragmatic, but we will always stick to the principles.]

Security issues in the Trump era were also heavily addressed.

called for Europe to unite to prevent Russian security threats.

[Volodymyr Zelensky / President of Ukraine] European leaders should remember this. Fighting involving North Korean forces is currently taking place geographically closer to Davos than Pyongyang.

In addition, it has been diagnosed that it is difficult to be optimistic about the establishment of permanent peace in relation to the situation in the Middle East, which has entered a new phase due to the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

President Trump, who is also at the center of the issue in Davos, is scheduled to speak online on the afternoon of the 23rd local time, three days after his inauguration, drawing attention to the content and level of the issue.
