The Political Week in Photos

Climate activist Greta Thunberg and U.S. President Donald Trump didn’t directly engage during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. But the rancor between the two persisted. Trump touted his economic record while overseas, in part as counter-programming to the Senate impeachment trial getting under way in Washington. A mysterious new virus spread in China, sparking global concerns. And U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson let on that he’s considering plans to move the House of Lords out of London.

These were among the topics of this week’s most compelling political photos.
