Helos lifted from Zurich at 1:19 pm and we are en route to Davos.
While on the plane a senior administration official provided some information:
-Trump’s speech today will have an America First feel and is expected to touch on Venezuela and Greenland in the context of his Western Hemisphere focus. He will tout the U.S. economy as well.
- Tomorrow he will highlight the Board of Peace. About 35 world leaders have committed so far out of the 50 or so invitations that went out.
- Trump has about five bilateral meetings with European leaders while in Davos.
- WH expects Delcy Rodriguez, acting president of Venezuela, to visit at some point but nothing has been scheduled.
- Trump hasn’t yet made up his mind on the Fed chair..
