Kelly Macias, staff writer for the Daily Kos, discusses President Trump's trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump is the first president to attend the conference since Bill Clinton in 2000.
Macias previews Trump's Friday speech touting his nationalist "America First" message. Will he be shunned as some think? Or will he be able to sell world leaders on his message?
President Trum[p will also meet with several world leaders including British Prime Minister Theresa May and Rwandan President Paul Kagame. The timing of Trump's meeting with Kagame comes just a couple of weeks after he allegedly criticized African nations.
President Joe Biden has met with new House Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House. Johnson was joined by Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries as they discussed Biden's request for nearly $106 billion for Israel, Ukraine and other national security needs.
The new leader of one of the chambers of Congress that will certify the winner of next year's presidential election helped spearhead the attempt to overturn the last one, raising alarms that Republicans could try to subvert the will of the voters if they remain in power despite safeguards enacted after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
