Washington DC, November 14, 2025 — The White House on Thursday confirmed that President Donald Trump will headline the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, marking one of the administration’s most prominent global engagements ahead of next year’s economic agenda.
Officials said President Trump will lead the U.S. delegation to the high-profile Switzerland summit, where global leaders, economists, and CEOs gather to shape policy priorities for the world economy. The move signals Washington’s renewed commitment to engaging in international trade dialogues, investment partnerships, and supply-chain restructuring as the U.S. pushes forward with its domestic recovery strategy.
According to senior administration aides, Trump is expected to deliver a keynote address outlining U.S. goals on fair trade, energy independence, reshoring manufacturing, and technology competitiveness. The speech is likely to reaffirm America’s stance on building “secure and balanced economic relationships” with key global markets.
The 2026 WEF gathering is projected to bring together representatives from more than 100 countries, with discussions dominated by inflation control, geopolitical tensions, AI-driven economic shifts, and the restructuring of global trade flows.
With the confirmation of Trump’s presence, the White House has signaled that the U.S. intends to play an active role in defining the post-recovery global economic order — positioning Davos 2026 as a crucial diplomatic and strategic moment for Washington.
