Ein Spaziergang durch Davos mit Lars Klingbeil

January 23, 2026

Lars Klingbeil discusses with Gordon Repinski the moment the World Economic Forum becomes truly geopolitical. Donald Trump’s speech, the European solidarity – and the question of why Europe can’t relax now.

The walk on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum also covers the crisis resilience of the German economic model. Is competitiveness a social democratic issue? Klingbeil explains why secure jobs, investments, and resilience are not contradictions for him.

The Berlin Playbook as a podcast is available every morning from 5 a.m. Gordon Repinski and the POLITICO team provide politics for listening – compact, international, in-depth.
