Marketplace All-in-One · Trump is ready for Davos. Is Davos ready for Trump? · 20 Jan 2026 podcast

The folks gathering in Davos, I think, have something to talk about this year, right?

I mean, since they gathered a year ago, somebody drove a bulldozer through their world trading system and I think globalization as they knew it.

Henry, what do you think?

You've been before.

I mean, does work get done at that ski resort?

And if you think so, how does that work get done?

I mean, it's not just speeches from podiums.

Among the dignitaries coming for the first time in six years will be President Trump, and he will speak.

I would guess that the president sees his speech as the keynote of the whole gathering.

I mean, is it the big ticket?

You know, I was looking at the overall theme for this year.

At first blush, it seemed bland in the extreme.

I think it's a spirit of dialogue.

But then when you think about it, when you step back a little bit in the polarized politics, we see, especially in the U.S., even just civil dialogue may be an edgy topic.

All right, Henry, we'll dress warmly.

Henry Kerr is economics editor for The Economist.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for having me.
