Davos Delivers an Electric Shock

Playbook: “This Davos felt like an electric shock treatment was being delivered to the international system… It’s been over a year of Trump throwing cold water on U.S. relations with some of our biggest allies. Until this week, European leaders were nearly bending over backward to please him…”

“But that world order is now endangered, if not already over… Look no further than leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron leaving Davos without even meeting Trump — a sign that officials who once rushed to try to get in front of Trump to shape his views are now questioning the utility of that approach.”
