Davos, Switzerland – 23 January 2025
1. Various of crowd awaiting to enter the plenary hall at the World Economic Forum (WEF)
2. Espen Barth Eide, Foreign Minister of Norway, speaking with to reporters
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Espen Barth Eide, Foreign Minister of Norway:
"Well, you know, I think that what we Europeans should take out of this is that we should strengthen our work to consolidate economic growth. You know what (Mario) Draghi and (Enrico) Letta in their reports proposed, you know, to have a more efficient bureaucracy, making sure that we continue to be a welfare state, that we continue to have a social market economy, that we look after the environment. But we do all this in a way where we can still have economic growth to get more of a competitive edge and also invest much more in A.I. and new tech, which is very much the key. So, so it’s a challenge that I think the Europeans should take on that competition and of course also to cooperate when relevant with the US."
4. Crowd entering plenary hall
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Stuart Eizenstat, former US diplomat:
"It shows one reason why he won the election, which is he speaks forcefully, you may not agree with everything, but he speaks with a great deal of force. In addition, I’ve served in six administrations, and I’ve never seen one as prepared from day one as this. I mean, the ability to roll out all the… although I certainly don’t agree with the substance of some… But to roll out a hundred executive orders this quickly is quite remarkable feat."
6. Reporters following Christine Lagarde, the President of the European Central Bank
7. SOUNDBITE (French) Benedict Fontanet, Swiss lawyer:
"Well, listen, I was impressed by the force of his convictions and by what he said. I don’t share his opinion on many topics, but I thought he was well prepared and knew who he was talking to. And in any case, I thought it was really interesting to share this moment with him three days after his inauguration."
8. People gathered in the hall
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Prof. Graham Allison, Harvard Kennedy School of Government:
"It’s a good speech, very respectful. He communicated clear, reiterating his belief that this is the golden era and respectful of the Davos crowd."
10. Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International, speaking to reporters
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International:
"Its absolute determination to make America great again at the expense of the rest of the world. That’s all. That’s what it is. It’s bringing business at the expense of where they are located now. It’s favouring American workers at the expense of workers everywhere else. That’s a vision. It’s a vision solely centred on an American vision. There’s nothing, nothing about the rest of the world."
