Trump is going to Davos — here are the big names who aren't

CEO Jensen Huang are among the who’s who of political leaders, big-name CEOs and tech pioneers heading to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting.

U.S. President Donald Trump is also attending in person for the first time since he addressed the forum during his first term in 2020. His virtual address last year, days after reentering the White House, shook the event. This time, he will bring the “largest” U.S. delegation yet, according to WEF.

Davos organizers are keen to talk up the numbers they expect to attend — “close to 3,000 cross-sector leaders,” plus a “record” 400 political leaders, 850 top company bosses and 100 tech pioneers. But a government at the center of a geopolitical firestorm won’t be there.
