Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders, a prominent ally of President-elect Donald Trump, is poised to make a significant impact at the upcoming World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Scheduled from January 22 to 24, Sanders will engage in pivotal discussions addressing pressing global issues.
One of Sanders' key engagements includes participating in a panel titled "Collapsing Youth?" alongside esteemed academics such as Jonathan Haidt of New York University and Nita Farahany of Duke University. This session aims to delve into the escalating concerns surrounding adolescent stress, anxiety, and rising suicide rates, topics that Sanders has been vocal about, especially regarding the influence of smartphones and social media on youth mental health.
In addition to her focus on mental health, Governor Sanders will join Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear in a discussion centered on "governors' priorities and the role of states in a presidential transition." This bipartisan dialogue underscores the importance of state leadership during times of national change, highlighting the collaborative efforts required to navigate such transitions effectively.
Beyond panel discussions, Sanders intends to leverage her time at Davos to meet with international business leaders, promoting Arkansas as a prime destination for investment. By showcasing the state's economic potential, she aims to attract global enterprises, fostering job creation and economic growth within Arkansas.
While Governor Sanders will be present in person, President-elect Donald Trump is slated to make a virtual appearance at the forum on January 23. This participation by key U.S. figures signifies a renewed engagement with global economic discussions, emphasizing the nation's role in addressing worldwide challenges and fostering international cooperation.
