In this Special news coverage, Euronews’ Sasha Vakulina and Maria Tadeo break down all you need to know about the first day of this year’s Davos.
Amid mounting geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, European leaders used their time at the podium at the World Economic Forum on Tuesday to reaffirm their commitment to a rules-based international order and to address growing strains in transatlantic relations.
One day before Trump’s awaited speech in Davos, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron both pushed back against unilateral actions by other world powers and stressed the importance of unity among EU member states. Their speeches underscored Europe’s resolve to defend sovereignty — particularly in the Arctic — and to uphold international law at a moment when global norms are being tested.
In this special show, we also connected with Jane Witherspoon at the Euronews’ Hub.
