    Kenneth Rogoff

    US President Donald Trump’s return to the White House represents a grave threat to Europe’s security, economy, and clean-energy transition. The European Union’s top priority must be to find ways to reduce energy prices, even if it means recalibrating some of its green policies.

     urges EU policymakers not to allow the new US administration to distract them from key policy priorities.

    Trump at Davos

    Mark Leonard

    Donald Trump’s return marks the start of an anti-Davos age, defined by the lack not only of a global order but also of any desire to create one. The world should expect deeper fragmentation and chaos in the face of unresolved crises and frequent disruptions.

     thinks there will be no return to the postwar global order of universally shared rules and institutions.
