The agenda of the meeting remains unclear; however, Trump's presence at the gathering holds a vital role amid growing global uncertainty over his recent statement on Greenland and the US tariffs on several countries.

Seven of India’s most powerful corporate leaders have been invited to attend the reception of Trump following the US President’s address to the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting on Wednesday. The move comes after several business figures, including CEOs in financial services, crypto and ⁠consulting, cryptocurrency and consulting firms across the world have been invited to the venue, according to Reuters.

US President Donald Trump is likely to hold meetings with top global business executives in Davos, as his presence dominates this year’s World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Meanwhile, the agenda of the meeting is still unclear; however, the presence of Trump at the gathering holds a vital role amid growing global uncertainty over his recent statement on Greenland and the US tariffs on several countries.

The World Economic Forum’s agenda has, to a degree, been eclipsed by the US president’s sweeping policy actions, including his recent call for the United States to assume control of Greenland. Organisers say more than 3,000 delegates from over 130 countries are attending this year’s meeting, among them 64 heads of state and government, with a strong presence from emerging economies.
