Trump Set to Take Center Stage at Davos Economic Forum
1 week ago
The World Economic Forum opened Monday in the Swiss resort town of Davos, drawing a steady flow of global leaders, executives and policymakers as attention quickly turned to U.S. President Donald Trump’s expected arrival later this week.
Sources familiar with the plans say Trump is scheduled to travel to Davos on Wednesday, where he will deliver a special address to attendees. Following the speech, the White House has invited global business leaders to a reception, according to people briefed on the matter. One chief executive said the invitation list includes CEOs from around the world, not only those based in the United States.
Several senior U.S. officials are expected to accompany the president, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Business leaders from financial services, cryptocurrency and consulting firms are among those invited to attend events surrounding Trump’s appearance.
Trump’s presence has already loomed large over the conference agenda, which has been shaped in part by his recent policy moves. In recent days, the president has renewed calls for the United States to take control of Greenland, an issue that has drawn international attention ahead of the forum.
Organizers say more than 3,000 delegates from over 130 countries are attending this year’s gathering, including multiple heads of government from G7 nations.
