U.S. President Donald Trump is set to attend the 2026 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, marking his first in-person appearance at the annual global gathering since returning to the White House for a second term. According to a source familiar with the plans, Trump will be joined by several key members of his administration, underscoring the importance his government places on engaging global political and business leaders at the high-profile event scheduled for January 19–23.
Among the senior officials attending are U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The delegation will also include U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Steve Witkoff, the special envoy to the Middle East. Their presence highlights the administration’s focus on economic policy, trade, energy security, and international diplomacy during the World Economic Forum, which is known for shaping discussions on global economic trends and geopolitical challenges.
Trump’s decision to attend Davos in person comes after he addressed the forum via video link last year, just four days after beginning his second term. This year, the president plans to use the global stage to outline new housing and affordability proposals, according to a post he shared on his Truth Social platform. These policy themes are expected to resonate with international audiences concerned about rising living costs, housing shortages, and economic inequality.
In previous appearances at the World Economic Forum, Trump has used his speeches to deliver strong messages on U.S. economic priorities. Last year, he urged OPEC to lower oil prices, called for interest rate cuts, and warned global companies that they could face tariffs if they manufacture products outside the United States. His remarks were widely covered and sparked debate among world leaders and executives attending the forum.
With global trade, energy markets, and inflation remaining key issues, Trump’s participation at Davos 2026 is likely to draw significant attention. The presence of top U.S. economic and trade officials suggests the administration intends to actively shape discussions on global growth, competitiveness, and America’s role in the international economy during this year’s World Economic Forum.
