Trump expected at Davos with top trade advisers: Official
As of now, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is set to lead the US delegation
President Trump is expected to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later in January, a White House official told FOX Business.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is set to lead the U.S. delegation, which will also include Ivanka Trump, presidential adviser Jared Kushner, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ros, Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
Trump withdrew from last year's forum amid the prolonged federal government shutdown, so Mnuchin led the delegation.
The forum will run from Jan. 20 to Jan. 24. Congress will have been back in session for several weeks.
