Klaus Schwab says he saw Trump shortly before Christmas and heard he had been "very much looking forward to coming back." Trump canceled the U.S. delegation's trip to Davos this year amid the partial government shutdown. Now, the WEF chief is focusing on reshaping the "global architecture" that has split populists and globalists and left many people feeling left out. That could be a tall order as trade forecasts predict slowdown and economic growth has eased, in part after Trump tax cuts doped-up the economy and markets last year. "I'm concerned because we are walking on very thin ice," Schwab said in an interview at the Davos conference center.
