White House cancels US delegation trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos
President Donald Trump on Thursday canceled the US delegation's annual trip to the World Economic Forum "out of consideration" for the furloughed federal employees amid the ongoing partial government shutdown.
"Out of consideration for the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay and to ensure his team can assist as needed, President Trump has canceled his Delegation's trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.
Trump attended the forum in 2018 but was expected to send a delegation of senior US officials this year, including Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
