Trump to attend Davos economic forum
US President Donald Trump
Washington - Al Maghrib Today
US President Donald Trump will take his populist message directly to the world's business and financial elite later this month, attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, the White House confirmed Tuesday.
Trump -- who ran for president on a nationalist "America First" platform -- will mingle at the annual Alpine festival of globalism in Switzerland, and perhaps offer a few views of his own.
"The president welcomes opportunities to advance his America First agenda with world leaders," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said.
"At this year's World Economic Forum, the president looks forward to promoting his policies to strengthen American businesses, American industries and American workers."
A string of US presidents have avoided attending the annual upscale event, fearing a trip to a European ski resort would make them look out of touch.
The last president to go was Bill Clinton, who attended in 2000.
Trump, a real estate mogul-turned-president, has rarely shied away from the rich and famous.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led hisGMT 09:22 2018 Monday ,22 January
