    EXCERPT:

    BREMMER: "The Iowa caucuses were Monday, so you got those results with Trump beating the GOP field pretty soundly, just as the World Economic Forum was starting. So, I mean, clearly, that news sort of suffused across the delegates. I would say that the general sense is that Trump not only can win, but most of the delegates thought he was reasonably likely to win, which was I think a little surprising. And beyond that, this sense of panic, particularly among the European delegates, like right underneath the ice, you had this sense of, 'My God, you know, we’ve had very strong coordinated policy on NATO, the trans-Atlantic relationship is very strong, in the midst of a war on Ukraine.' And if Trump becomes president, I mean, not only is he sort of indifferent to very negative on the European Union, but he says he’s going to end the war on Ukraine, particularly because he considers Volodymyr Zelenskyy a personal enemy, and that — for not opening the investigations against Biden and his son. So all that means that, if you are European, you think that a Trump presidency is a disaster for you."
