💬 "i can set up a g7 meeting after Davos in Paris on thursday afternoon. I can invite the ukrainians, the danish, the syrians and the russians in the margins," the message reads.

On Monday, French Finance Minister Roland Lescure said France would convene a meeting of G7 finance ministers in the coming days to address Trump's threat to impose new trade tariffs on eight European countries over Greenland.

🇷🇺Lavrov: Meetings in Davos are aimed at steering Trump back toward approaches that he says have long discredited themselves

The World Economic Forum is running from January 19-21, 2026, in Davos with a credibility hangover. The gathering is still absorbing the aftershocks of governance and workplace-culture scrutiny that peaked in 2024–2025, forcing the organization into a phase of reputational repair.

This reckoning began with a 2024 Wall Street Journal report that triggered a board-level review into allegations of discrimination and harassment, deepening in 2025 with a whistleblower-driven probe into founder Klaus Schwab over claims of blurred lines between personal perks and Forum resources.

In parallel, Schwab’s exit in April 2025 and interim stewardship by high-profile figures have been covered as an attempt to stabilize a “scandal-hit” brand and keep Davos relevant, even as critics continue to hammer familiar pressure points: elite networking masquerading as global problem-solving, climate messaging colliding with private-jet optics, and headline speeches that generate heat but not always measurable outcomes.
