Trump takes his America First policies to Davos globalists
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump arrived in Switzerland on Thursday to attend the World Economic Forum where  he  will push  his  âAmerica Firstâ agenda and seek more fair  reciprocal trade between the United States and its allies.
 Trump  arrived in Zurich en route to the Swiss ski resort of Davos for two days of events culminating in a speech on Friday to the forum of business and political leaders.
 Trump   never invited as a businessman  will be the first U.S. president to attend Davos since Bill Clinton in 2000  giving him a chance to mingle with the same elite âglobalistsâ he bashed in the 2016 election campaign.
âWill soon be heading to Davos  Switzerland  to tell the world how great America is and is doing â  Trump  tweeted before departure. âOur economy is now booming and with all I am doing  will only get better...Our country is finally WINNING again!â
âAmerica first is not America alone â said White House senior economic adviser Gary Cohn  who is traveling with  Trump . âWhen we grow  the world grows; when the world grows  we grow. Weâre part of it  and weâre part of a world economy. And the president believes that.â
In the run-up to his trip to Davos   Trump  slapped a 30 percent tariff on imported solar panels  among the first unilateral trade restrictions imposed by the administration as part of a broader protectionist agenda.

Trump  will use  his  trip for some diplomacy.  He  has meetings with British Prime Minister Theresa May and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday and Rwandan President Paul Kagame  current chairman of the African Union  and Swiss President Alain Berset on Friday.
French President Emmanuel Macron told RTS channel that he had âstrongly recommendedâ to  Trump  to attend the Davos forum during a recent phone conversation they had on Iran ... âbecause I think itâs a good thing for  President Trump  to explain  his  strategy for the U.S. and the world here in Davos.
âAnd that  he  encounters some form of confrontation and dialogue â Macron said.
 Trump  will host a small dinner for European business executives on Thursday night.
 Trump  will appeal for increased global investment in the United States to take advantage of corporate tax cuts approved by Congress late in 2017 and  Trumpâs  deregulatory policies.
