UPDATE: Day four of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland is underway, with the spotlight shifting from President Donald Trump‘s controversial speech to California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is set to speak at 8:30 a.m. local time.
As global leaders and influential executives gather, reactions to Trump’s remarks are mixed, sparking discussions about his impact on international relations and economic policies. Earlier today, Newsom engaged with the press, delivering sharp insights on how the Democratic Party should navigate the current political landscape following Trump’s address.
Trump’s arrival in Davos was delayed due to an electrical fault on Air Force One, but he ultimately delivered a highly anticipated speech. Despite concerns over his comments regarding Greenland, he announced the cancellation of new tariffs on Europe, stating a new “framework” will be established in coordination with NATO.
The atmosphere at Davos is charged as leaders prepare to address pressing topics in technology, governance, and the global market. With the sun rising over the Swiss Alps, conversations are heating up and deals are being struck.
Newsom’s panel is generating significant buzz, especially after his playful reaction during Trump’s speech, where he displayed a grin reminiscent of Jim from “The Office.” His participation is expected to elevate discussions on how leaders can effectively counter Trump’s policies.
Stay tuned for live updates as we continue to follow these developments throughout the day. The stakes are high, and the implications of these discussions could shape the future of global politics and economics.
What to watch for next: Keep an eye on further reactions to Trump’s speech and the outcomes of Newsom’s panel, as well as key announcements from other world leaders throughout January 21, 2026.
