On the other side of the Atlantic, President Donald Trump was starting his political comeback as the new US president.
"Nothing will stand in our way", he declared, as he vowed to end America's "decline".
Towards the end of the gathering, President Trump was beamed in straight from the White House webcam to deliver his message of world domination directly to the global elite.
While he charmed, almost seduced the audience with a credible picture of a booming US economy about to scale new technological heights, he simultaneously menaced with threats of tariffs to those who did not choose to shift their factories into the US.
