President Donald Trump will attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this month, the White House announced on Tuesday.

“The President welcomes opportunities to advance his America First agenda with world leaders," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. "At this year’s World Economic Forum, the President looks forward to promoting his policies to strengthen American businesses, American industries, and American workers.”

Trump’s attendance was first reported by the New York Times.

Chief executives and world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron are expected to attend the annual gathering in the Switzerland resort town at the end of January, which is known for attracting some of the world's wealthiest people.

not only hate, but who fuel their wackadoodle conspiracy theories. I doubt they'll like hearing/seeing their hero rubbing shoulders and having a grand old time with them.
