Blackrock Chief Tells Davos Elites Trump Win Would Be 'Challenge' for Europe
At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Philipp Hildebrand, vice chairman of BlackRock, the world's largest investment company, cautioned that the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House in 2024 presents a "fundamental" challenge to Europe.
The Daily Telegraph reported on Hildebrand's warning, emphasizing his concerns about Trump's approach of prioritizing "America First" in various areas, including trade, diplomacy, NATO funding, and climate policy.
Seems like good news to me! 😊

Speaking on the sidelines of the WEF, Hildebrand echoed sentiments expressed by Christine Lagarde, the head of the European Central Bank (ECB).
She previously stated that Trump poses a "clear threat" to Europe due to his divergent views from the European mainstream.
According to Hildebrand, a re-elected Trump could bring about a fundamental challenge for Europe, necessitating a reconsideration of its approach.
In response to Lagarde's concerns, Hildebrand urged Europe to view the situation as an opportunity to transform into a technological superpower less reliant on America.
He pointed out that Europe's defense capabilities were currently insufficient and required a strategic reassessment.
As a member of BlackRock's Global Executive Committee, Hildebrand oversees assets exceeding $9 trillion, making BlackRock the world's largest money manager.
Hildebrand's remarks came shortly after Trump's notable victory in the Iowa Republican presidential caucuses.
The discussion at the WEF highlighted the growing unease in Europe regarding the potential impact of Trump's return to the global stage and the need for strategic planning to address the challenges it may pose.
The latest announcement comes as good news to many American conservatives who hope to break free from some globalist ties with a Trump victory in November. The conflict remains on a global scale as the campaign continues in 2024.
