US President Donald Trump will not attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland at the end of January. He announced this on Twitter.

He said the planned trip was "respectful," the Trump wrote. He cited the reasons for the "intransigence of the democrats in border security" and the "great importance of the security of our nation." For several weeks, a so-called shutdown lame the US government. Trump calls for a border wall to Mexico, the Democrats refuse.
