President Trump, who decided to pull out of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland amid the longest government shutdown in history, announced his replacements on Tuesday.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will lead the American delegation next week in Switzerland, according to the White House, filling Trump’s shoes as he continues to grapple with Democrats over funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
At the event, Mnuchin will also be joined by other key members of Trump’s administration, according to officials. He is also expected to speak jointly with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the opening session of the forum on Jan. 22, which was previously scheduled to be Trump. Both Mnuchin and Pompeo are also expected to take questions from the audience.
