President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to skip the World Economic Forum in Davos ahead of the 2024 election, according to Semafor.
While Biden reportedly looks poised to skip the World Economic Forum alongside Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will attend the summit, which begins Jan. 15, according to Semafor.
The decision comes as Trump, who attended the summit as president, aggressively promotes a nationalist, anti-elitist message ahead of the 2024 election, Semafor noted.
World Economic Forum president Borge Brende said Tuesday that the upcoming summit will take a “hard look” at global cooperation and security, Semafor reported. Both Yellen and Raimondo attended the summit in 2022, though Biden has not attended since taking office.
