“Because of the intransigence of the Democrats regarding the security of borders and the great importance of security for our country, with all due respect, I cancel my very important trip to Davos,” he wrote on Twitter.
He also expressed "warm wishes and apologies" to the WEF.
It is a good idea to make sure that I’ve been on the road to safety and security. My warmest regards and apologies to the @WEF!

On December 22, the work of the American government was partially suspended, since the Democrats and Republicans could not agree on a budget.
According to Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer, Trump threatened congressmen to keep the "shatdaun" for "a long time, months, or even years."
