Trump Davos visit 2026 LIVE: US President Donald Trump signed the charter of his “Board of Peace” in Davos on Thursday alongside other founding members. Trump has described the group as an organisation aimed at helping resolve international conflicts.
"Congratulations President Trump, the charter is now in full force, and the board of peace is now an official international organisation," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at the signing ceremony.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky travelled to Davos on Thursday for a meeting with Trump as he works to advance a possible deal to end Russia’s war, according to Bloomberg.
He arrived in Switzerland after previously suggesting earlier in the week that he likely would not attend the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering. Zelensky has been focused on managing the fallout from large-scale Russian airstrikes that have left millions across parts of Kyiv and other regions without heat, electricity, or water as freezing winter conditions persist.
What is World Economic Forum?
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a think tank and event organizer headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Its inaugural meeting in Davos in 1971 brought together business leaders, but the forum has since grown far beyond its original focus. It addresses a wide range of global challenges, including economic inequality, climate change, technological change, and international cooperation.
WEF Davos schedule
The main sessions kicked off on Monday, January 19, and the annual meeting is scheduled to conclude on January 23.

Trump Davos visit 2026 LIVE: Trump unveils ‘Board of Peace’
President Donald Trump on Thursday launched his Board of Peace, an initiative meant to help oversee efforts to keep a ceasefire in place in Israel’s war with Hamas. Trump claimed that “everyone wants to be a part” of the group, which he suggested could one day rival the United Nations, even as many key US allies have chosen not to join, according to AP.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Trump attempted to revive attention around a plan for shaping Gaza’s future after the war. The effort has been largely eclipsed in recent days, first by his comments threatening to seize Greenland, and then by his sudden pullback from that stance.
“This isn’t the United States, this is for the world,” he said, adding, “I think we can spread it out to other things as we succeed in Gaza.”
