Davos 2026: Trump's Greenland Tariff Threat, AI's Wealth Gap, and Clean Fuel Investment

  • WEF President Borge Brende anticipates tough dialogues at Davos over Trump's Greenland tariff threat to Europe.
  • The World Economic Forum (WEF) states that meeting climate goals requires quadrupling clean fuel investment to nearly $100 billion annually by 2030.
  • Global AI investment has reached $600 billion since 2010, with the US and China accounting for 65%, marking the fastest capital reallocation in modern history.
  • The global health system faces a $200 billion funding gap due to US pullback from multilateral organizations, with AI seen as a potential lifeline.
  • Geoeconomic confrontation, including trade tariffs and supply chain issues, is identified as the biggest risk to the global economy for the next two years.

Why It Matters: Davos discussions highlight geopolitical tensions, urgent climate investment needs, and AI's dual impact on economy and health.
