Many business leaders, world -class scholars, the best government officials, and other elites have tried to show a bright tone about economic prospects, efforts to end wars in places such as Ukraine and the Middle East, and advances in technology. 。

Trump talks about tariffs
Trump said in a session on Thursday video addresses and questions and answers, saying, “The EU and hundreds of billions of dollars are deficit, and no one is satisfied.” And we intend to do something about it. “
Lagard said that it focused on US trade deficit, but the decision -makers should look closer.
“You have to look at a good exchange. You have to look at the service exchange, you need to see your capital account,” she said. It’s not just black and white. The truth is that negotiations are needed. “
“Some countries are stronger than other countries, but we all need each other,” Lagardo added.
Customs duties were not popular in Davos. Economic policy creators and traders warned that they were backfirmed and could inflate fans.
Kristalina Georgieva, the manager of the International currency fund’s management fund, reflects Lagardo, saying that the trade pattern is the advantage of the relationship pattern, and the highest country is “everyone with friends.”

Critics argued that the story of “constructive optimism,” is exaggerated among many people this week.
Amnestyeff says, “I can’t hide my face in the sand.”
Agnese Calamard, Secretary -General of Amnesty International, has a “very impressive” reception to Trump among many elites in Davos and “negative about what he is trying to do. There are almost no words.
Davos, which has luxurious suite, champagne -covered parties, and custom texture, is far from suffering around the world, “I have a true determination that Trump 2.0 is not considered a threat to peace and prosperity.” I said.
“Is it peaceful and safe for climate refugees? For immigrants escape from Venezuela. For Sudan in the right of human crimes for humanity. For Gaza’s Palestinians, they live in Rubbles for Palestinians in Gaza: It’s suspicious.” Calamard said.
