00:00Escalating economic confrontation between major powers is now seen as the biggest threat to global stability for the year, the World Economic Forum said in its Global Risk Report 2026.

00:13Geo-economic confrontation, which refers to the use of tools such as sanctions and tariffs, ranked above disinformation, societal polarization, extreme weather and armed conflict as the top global risk for 2026.

00:27Geo-economic confrontation threatens supply chains and global economic stability, according to the WEF.

00:34The findings come after a year in which U.S. President Donald Trump upended Washington's trade policy and shook the world through his use of tariffs.

00:43State-based armed conflict came in second for 2026.

00:48The report was released a few days ahead of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos.
