Live from Davos: The Real Conversations Around Trump's Return

The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, once a hub of globalism and progressive ideals, is now seeing a shift towards embracing the ideology of US President Donald Trump. With CEOs and other business leaders trying to get in line with his views, many are abandoning previous initiatives around equality, diversity, free trade and climate change. On this week’s episode of Trumponomics, we discuss how and why so many of the global elite at Davos are pressing “unsubscribe” on their previous commitments in favor of (like Trump’s book) the art of dealing with the new White House occupant.

In a live taping before an audience at Bloomberg House in Davos, host Stephanie Flanders speaks with Bloomberg News Editor in Chief John Micklethwait, Washington reporter Jenny Leonard and Bloomberg Businessweek Editor Brad Stone. They unpack how the world order has already changed in anticipation of Trump’s return, what the Republican’s style of transactionalism will look like for foreign policy, and what will be the fallout for the global economy and trade policy.
