The US President’s Donald Trump’s visit to Davos World Economic Forum took place despite all the speculations. It is interesting to note that he became the first US president in 20 years to attend the event. As he noted before his visit on his Twitter page his main aim at the forum was to "tell the world how great America is and is doing. Our economy is now booming and with all I am doing, will only get better...Our country is finally WINNING again!"
During the visit Donald Trump had a number of bilateral meetings with the leaders of several countries such as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Theresa May, President of the Swiss Confederation Alain Berset, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, President of Republic of Rwanda Paul Kagame. During all the meetings the main topic of discussion concerned economic issues. For example, during the meeting with Teresa May, as Trump himself noted, the two leaders "affirmed the special relationship and our commitment to work together on key national security challenges and economic opportunities," while with Switzerland they continued "to strengthen our great friendship."
Of special interest was the meeting of Donald Trump with the heads of 15 European companies. As the US National Economic Council director Gary Cohn noted: "The attendees run companies that have sizeable footprints in the United States. They have invested in our economy. We want them to continue to do so and encourage others to join them," Business Insider reports.
Finally, aside from the meetings, it is also interesting to refer to the main messages of Trump’s speech at the forum, the slogan of which seems to become "America First, But Not Alone."
