Donald Trump is not stepping foot in Davos this week but the head of the World Economic Forum says the new president has brought renewed interest in the annual gathering.

In a special episode of Left, Right and Centre broadcast live from the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, American journalist Ben Smith discussed a wide range of issues, from US President Donald Trump's move to 'save' TikTok in the US.

Putting aside their party affiliations, the Centre and states have come together in this skiing resort town, at least in terms of the space for their respective pavilions.
