Many leaders go just dey watch as he dey talk tariff matter and wetin e go do to EU leaders if dem no fall in line with wetin him dey plan.
This year theme for Davos na “Spirit of Dialogue,” but for many, e be like joke. If we look wetin Trump don dey do for the past year, e no fit be cozy for many countries as dem dey try balance their own sides of the table.

Na wetin go happen for this Davos go set tone for many things wey go follow for year.
This year, e be like say Davos wan become market place for global ruling and power talks. Countries dey reposition as dem dey watch how US fit lead or lag behind with Trump as the face of the nation. Everybody wan see how dis play dey go.
Davos no be small wahala ground at all. With over 60 heads of state dey gather, and many CEOs dey mix with dem, the discussions go be hot. Na opportunity to trade ideas, yan matter dey about future – but who go carry first applause?
