The Trump administration will have a big presence at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this month. The annual conference is scheduled for January 19th to 23rd. “Trump will be among the headliners attending the January meeting in Davos that helps set the tone of the global economic agenda for the year,” the Council on Foreign Relations wrote last month. “The president confirmed he would go after receiving assurances that so-called ‘woke’ topics such as diversity, female empowerment, and the green energy transition would be dropped or scaled back,” it added. Trump confirmed he would give a speech at Davos in a post earlier this week. pic.twitter.com/SUKMr4rG5D — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 7, 2026 A closer look: Reuters has more: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Energy Secretary Chris ​Wright will join President Donald Trump at the ‌World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, a U.S. official and a source ‌familiar with the plans said.

Trump will be making his third in-person appearance in Davos, the high temple of a global, multilateral order he has upended in the first year of his second term. At his first appearance in 2018, he delivered a surprisingly open-armed message, declaring “America First does not mean America alone.” He arrived defiant in 2020 as his impeachment trial was getting underway in Washington, and touted the US’ strong economy and stock market. Trump said Wednesday that he would talk at Davos about his administration’s efforts to tackle high prices. Affordability has become a political problem for the White House and congressional Republicans running in midterm elections later this year.
