Scholz Tops Davos List as Winter Gathering Returns to Swiss Alps

(Bloomberg) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will top the list of global leaders heading to Davos next week as the World Economic Forum returns in winter for the first time since before the Covid pandemic.

U.S. President Joe Biden won’t attend the annual gathering of financial and political elites, and nor will his predecessor, Donald Trump. Instead, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh and Trade Representative Katherine Tai will be in the Swiss mountain town for the Jan. 16-20 event.
