WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, British Prime Minister Theresa May, and other world leaders when he attends the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week, White House officials said on Tuesday.

 

Trump is due to take an overnight flight on Wednesday night to snowbound Davos, where he will encourage investment in the United States and cooperation on national security issues, including the fight against Islamic State and North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

 

Trump will have a full day of meetings in Davos on Thursday and then deliver a keynote address to the forum on Friday before returning to the United States later that day.

 

White House senior economic adviser Gary Cohn said Trump will use his speech to encourage global companies to invest in the United States and take advantage of Trump's corporate tax cuts.

 

He will also stress his "America First" policies and seek more reciprocal trade policies from U.S. allies, Cohn said, in keeping with Trump's belief that international trade deals are tilted against the United States.

 

"The president will continue to promote fair economic competition and will make it clear that there cannot be free and open trade if countries are not held accountable to the rules," Cohn told reporters.

 

Trump will be the first U.S. president to attend Davos in 20 years, giving him a chance to mingle with the same elite "globalists" that he bashed in his 2016 presidential run.

 

In addition to meetings with world leaders, Trump will also host a small dinner for European business executives on Thursday night.

 

"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," said Cohn.

 

White House national security adviser H.R. McMaster said Trump will meet with Britain's May to discuss North Korea, the Syrian civil war and the Iran nuclear deal, which lifted sanctions on Iran and which Trump has vowed to abandon unless changes can be made.

 

Trump and May have had a rocky first year since Trump took power, which included British anger over the U.S. leak of the name of a suicide bomber in Manchester last May.

 

The two sides have been unable to agree on an appropriate time for Trump to visit Britain. Earlier this month, he pulled out of a potential February trip for the opening of a new U.S. embassy in London.

 

Trump's meeting with Netanyahu will be his first one since he declared that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a decision that has strained U.S. ties with some Arab leaders.

 

McMaster said that in the meeting with Netanyahu, Trump will "reiterate America's strong commitment to Israel and efforts to reduce Iran's influence in the Middle East and ways to achieve lasting peace."

 

Other meetings include Rwandan President Paul Kagame, who is chairman of the African Union, to discuss trade and security. Trump will also meet with President Alain Berset of Switzerland.

You wonder what they are going to say to him. Hey Don, we all were astonished you were elected. Why is it, now that you are president, that you cannot make a deal to save your life?

Rachael Maddow reported that Trump is taking most of his lackey cabinet and others. She also reported there will be numerous Russians in attendance. It will be interesting to see how Trump's regime mingles with these Russians. Of course I don't suspect Cadet Bone Spur will let any documentation of these encounters. He 's not a/b transparency or democracy. 

 

My view is this is a wonderful opportunity for Russia explaining their game plan to this motley crew (no offence to the great music band) of Trump democracy destroyers. WAKE UP AMERICA.

Hopefully we will get to hear his speech.... perhaps on Comedy Central.

Later, the leader of the global populist movement held court around a table packed with some of Europe's most powerful CEOs, as they showered him with gratitude for the corporate tax cut and deregulation policies.

No wonder Trump is getting support from some CEO's 'the rich getting richer' from his tax policies at the cost of US$1.5 trillion to the US. All the executives at his dinner have major businesses in the US.

Trump doing his usual routine at Davos...

 

Speaking at Davos, Mr Trump has dismissed as "fake news" a report that he tried to have Robert Mueller fired last year.

 

Speaking briefly with reporters this morning, Donald Trump claimed the WEF had a "crowd like they've never had before" in his first year of attendance.
