Trump's presence sparks major protests at Davos Forum
Hundreds of people gathered in Davos to protest the holding of the World Economic Forum and the presence of US President Donald Trump.
"We feel like it is unacceptable for the World Economics Forum, but also of Switzerland in general, to host fascists like Donald Trump, because that also kind of legitimizes their actions," explains Nathalie Ruoss, Vice president of the Young Socialists Switzerland.
Donald Trump returns to the Davos ski resort next week after unleashing yet another avalanche on the global order.
Trump's first appearance in six years at the gathering of the world's political and global elite comes amid a spiraling crisis over his quest to acquire Greenland.
Fellow leaders at the mountain retreat will also be eager to talk about other shocks from his first year back in power, from tariffs to Venezuela, Ukraine, Gaza and Iran.
Yet for the Republican president, his keynote speech among the Swiss peaks will largely be aimed at the United States.
US voters are angered by the cost of living despite Trump's promises of a "golden age," and his party could be facing a kicking in crucial midterm elections in November.
