Trump cancels US delegation's trip to Davos

U.S. President Donald Trump has canceled his delegation’s trip to a global economic summit this month, according to the White House, Anadolu Agency reports.

"Out of consideration for the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay and to ensure his team can assist as needed, President Trump has canceled his delegation’s trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement late Thursday.

The announcement came hours after Trump postponed a planned overseas trip by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with other members of Congress shortly before they were scheduled to depart, citing the partial government shutdown.

The trip was to include stops in Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan.
