All Episodes

January 20, 2025 • 26 mins

It’s that time of year! Thousands of business leaders, politicians, tech maestros and an array of hangers are about to descend on the Swiss Alps. As the 55th meeting of the annual World Economic Forum gets underway in Davos, many eyes will be on Washington D.C. when Donald Trump takes the presidential oath — and a new global era begins. To open Power Play's daily coverage of Davos, host Anne McElvoy is joined by POLITICO's Jack Blanchard in Washington, where he starts today as the new managing editor of Playbook, and a doyen of Davos, Adrian Monck, who was Head of Communications for the World Economic Forum between 2009 and 2023. They discuss what to expect from Trump's inauguration and the diplomacy that goes on behind the scenes at the forum. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
