WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is planning to attend the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos later this month.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says in a statement that the president welcomes the opportunity to promote his “America First” agenda with world leaders.

Sanders says Trump wants to promote his policies for strengthening American businesses, industries and workers.

The annual gathering of global political and business elites is scheduled to take place from Jan. 23-26 in Switzerland.

American presidents rarely attend. Then-Vice President Joe Biden attended last year.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s plans to attend the forum.

  1. And what populist agenda is that? What a strange headline.

  2. “Trump wants to promote his policies for strengthening American businesses, industries and workers.”

    I understand he’s poised to give federal approval for opening coastal waters to off-shore coal mines.

  3. I REALLY get ticked when writers substitute the word “:populist” for “racist.” But, then, it’s the AP so…

    When I see yet another one of these stories, a voice in my head says “It’s the AP, Jake.”

  5. President Donald Trump is planning to attend the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos later this month.

    This should give all of us a chance to see just how bad his mental state really is.

    And speaking of showing your ignorance. Napoleon’s main reason to tell trump not to talk to Muller is not that Muller’s investigation is a lie, but because Donald is a liar and dumbass and will get caught telling lies.
