"on account of the Democrats intransigence on Border protection and the tremendous significance of safeguard for our Nation, i'm respectfully cancelling [sic] my very vital travel to Davos, Switzerland for the world economic forum," Trump observed in a tweet. "My warmest regards and apologies to the @WEF!"
this might have been Trump's 2nd straight appearance at Davos, which attracts financial, political and amusement elites.
From the singer Bono to former presidents like invoice Clinton, Davos has tended to attract delegates who promote free exchange and encourage foreign alliances, ideas often at odds with Trump and his "america First" agenda.
Trump, however, played down those disputes in last yr's speech at Davos, telling delegates: "let us resolve to use our vigour, our resources, and our voices, now not only for ourselves, but for our individuals."
dependent in 1971, the area economic discussion board says its aim is to collect "the top-rated political, company and different leaders of society to shape world, regional and trade agendas."
The World financial discussion board website says it strives "to reveal entrepreneurship in the world public interest whereas upholding the maximum standards of governance," and that "moral and intellectual integrity is at the coronary heart of everything it does."
Davos has become an annual happening for politicians seeking to burnish their world credentials, entrepreneurs trying to extend their organizations, and a number of celebrities seeking to promote their charities (or themselves).
