Trump attended the annual event in the Swiss resort in January
2018, a year into his administration, taking his "America First”
message to the world's elite. The first U.S. president to attend
in two decades, he did not participate last year, and the return
trip comes amid moves for him to face impeachment charges in the
Senate.
U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, U.S. Trade
Representative Robert Lighthizer as well as Ivanka Trump and her
husband Jared Kushner are on the U.S. delegation, a WEF list of
participants distributed at its annual preview news conference
showed. Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who had
been expected, is no longer on the list of nearly 3,000 people
attending the event being held under the theme: "Stakeholders
for a Sustainable and Cohesive World".
