“Al-Jazeera intends to meet with the leaders of Iraq, Pakistan, Switzerland and the European Union during the Davos forum,” the Al-Jazeera television quoted the White House as saying.

On January 5, the Iraqi parliament adopted a resolution demanding the full withdrawal of all foreign forces from the country. But Trump refused to comply with this request, and threatened Baghdad with “unprecedented sanctions.”

This event constitutes one of the major international events annually relative to politicians, businessmen, representatives of public organizations, academia, cultural figures and media leaders who participate in the discussions of this World Economic Forum.

(International: Al Furat News) The White House said that US President Donald Trump intends to meet with the leaders of Iraq, Pakistan, Switzerland and the European Union during the Davos Forum in Switzerland.
Some of the world’s leading businessmen and politicians, as well as a number of celebrities, are gathering in the Davos Resort, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum this week.
The forum’s guests vary, among those attending this year’s session: US President Donald Trump, Swedish teenager active in climate change, Greta Thunberg, and Uber CEO, Dara Khusrawshahi.
Many of them take this opportunity to hold private meetings on issues such as investing in their countries and to conclude trade deals.
Prominent personalities often invest in the forum to influence the process of prioritizing global politics and pushing specific issues to the forefront of global attention, including but not limited to Prince William’s speech last year on mental health, or David Attenborough’s blatant warnings about environmental conservation and the impact of climate change.
