President Trump will appear via video at the left-wing World Economic Forum meeting on January 23 for a virtual discussion. He spoke at the event twice previously, in 2018 and again in 2020, and emphasized nationalist themes.
Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump will address this year’s World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, just days after being sworn in, the event’s organizers announced today.
Describing Trump’s scheduled virtual appearance as a “very special moment,” WEF CEO Børge Brende remarked that “there is a lot of interest … to decipher and to understand the policies of the new administration.”
Trump spoke at the event twice previously, once in 2018 and again in 2020. During his remarks, Trump hit on nationalist themes. “I will always put America first, just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also,” he announced in 2018.
The theme of this year’s gathering is “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age” and will be held from January 20, which is Inauguration Day in the U.S., until January 25. Trump will appear via video on January 23 for a virtual discussion.
Last year, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Robert notably slammed the group’s globalist ideology when he spoke during a panel discussion. “The agenda that every single member of the administration needs to have is to compile a list of everything that’s ever been proposed at the World Economic Forum and object [to] all of them, wholesale,” he said.
Other world leaders scheduled to attend this year’s meeting include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Argentina President Javier Milei, and China’s vice premier Ding Xuexiang, among others. More than 1,200 business and world political leaders are expected to attend as well. In 2023, Elon Musk said the WEF is “increasingly becoming an unelected world government that the people never asked for and don’t want.”
Trump’s speech is sure to raise eyebrows on both sides of the political aisle, but especially among populists and nationalists on the political right, as his recent remarks about acquiring Greenland and annexing Canada have prompted speculation on social media that he is covertly pushing a globalist agenda.
The WEF was founded in 1971. Its annual meetings routinely feature an array of liberal politicians and global elites who push climate alarmism, censorship, artificial intelligence, LGBT ideology, and an array of other anti-Christian programs aimed at ushering in a one world government under the guise of defending democracy.

Quick Hit:
PepsiCo is the latest major U.S. company to adjust its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies as 47th President Donald Trump continues his campaign to end DEI practices across the federal government and private sector. The company is shifting away from workforce representation goals and repurposing its DEI leadership, signaling a broader trend among American corporations.
Key Details:
-
PepsiCo will end DEI workforce representation goals and transition its chief DEI officer to focus on associate engagement and leadership development.
-
The company is introducing a new “Inclusion for Growth” strategy as its five-year DEI plan concludes.
-
PepsiCo joins other corporations, including Target and Alphabet-owned Google, in reconsidering DEI policies following Trump’s call to end “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences.”
Diving Deeper:
PepsiCo has announced significant changes to its DEI initiatives, aligning with a growing movement among U.S. companies to revisit diversity policies amid political pressure. According to an internal memo, the snacks and beverages giant will no longer pursue DEI workforce representation goals. Instead, its chief DEI officer will transition to a broader role that focuses on associate engagement and leadership development. This shift is part of PepsiCo’s new “Inclusion for Growth” strategy, set to replace its expiring five-year DEI plan.
The company’s decision to reevaluate its DEI policies comes as President Donald Trump continues his push against DEI practices, urging private companies to eliminate what he calls “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences.” Trump has also directed federal agencies to terminate DEI programs and has warned that academic institutions could face federal funding cuts if they continue with such policies.
PepsiCo is not alone in its reassessment. Other major corporations, including Target and Google, have also modified or are considering changes to their DEI programs. This trend reflects a broader corporate response to the evolving political landscape surrounding DEI initiatives.
Additionally, PepsiCo is expanding its supplier base by broadening opportunities for all small businesses to participate, regardless of demographic categories. The company will also discontinue participation in single demographic category surveys, further signaling its shift in approach to DEI.
As companies like PepsiCo navigate these changes, the debate over the future of DEI in corporate America continues. With Trump leading a campaign against these practices, more companies may follow suit in reevaluating their DEI strategies.

The decision was otherwise roundly condemned on X as “horrific,” “horrendous,” the hallmark of a “dictatorship,” and even “the biggest breach of privacy Western civilization has ever seen.”
Apple Store on New York’s Fifth Avenue.
Apple pulled its highest-level security feature in the U.K. after the government ordered the company to give it access to user data.
The U.K. government demanded “blanket access” to all user accounts around the world rather than to specific ones, a move unprecedented in major democracies, according to The Washington Post.
The security tool at issue in the U.K. is Advanced Data Protection (ADP), which provides end-to-end encryption so that only owners of particular data – and reportedly not even Apple – can access it.
“Apple can no longer offer Advanced Data Protection (ADP) in the United Kingdom to new users and current UK users will eventually need to disable this security feature,” an Apple spokesman said.
According to Apple, the removal of ADP will not affect iCloud data types that are end-to-end encrypted by default such as iMessage and FaceTime.
The nine iCloud categories that will reportedly no longer have ADP protection are iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, Photos, Notes, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Siri Shortcuts, Voice Memos, Wallet Passes, and Freeform.
These types of data will be covered only by standard data protection, the default setting for accounts.
Journalist and Twitter Files whistleblower Michael Schellenberger slammed the U.K.-initiated move as “totalitarian.”
The decision was otherwise roundly condemned on X as “horrific,” “horrendous,” the hallmark of a “dictatorship,” and even “the biggest breach of privacy Western civilization has ever seen.”
Elon Musk declared Friday that such a privacy breach “would have happened in America” if President Donald Trump had not been elected.
Jake Moore, global cybersecurity adviser at ESET, commented that the move marks “a huge step backwards in the protection of privacy online.”
“Creating a backdoor for ethical reasons means it will inevitably only be a matter of time before threat actors also find a way in,” Moore said.
Britain reportedly made the privacy invasion demand under the authority of the Investigatory Powers Act of 2016.
