Donald Trump will address the World Economic Forum next Wednesday, an appearance likely to dominate the annual gathering of the global elite in Davos.

The US president — accompanied by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the biggest US delegation ever — will be among more than 60 heads of state and government attending the Jan. 19-23 meeting.
