Trump to attend World Economic Forum in Davos amid impeachment

As United States President Donald Trump's impeachment trial is set to begin on January 21, he will be in Davos, Switzerland for annual World Ecomic Forum. While Senate will be hearing his opening arguments in his impeachment trial next week, he sees risk in jetting away to Switzerland. 

While speaking to reporters at White House Trump said, “I'm going to Davos. I’ll be meeting biggest business leers in world, getting m to come here. I’ll also be meeting with foreign leers”.

Trump also predicted that his impeachment trial in Senate will be over "very quickly" as he believes that charges against him are a 'hoax'. trial also began with preliminary proceedings after swearing-in of ten Senators who served as jury to prosecute former over two charges of abusing power and obstructing Congress. However, Trump is very confident that his Republican party majority will stay loyal and that is why he decided to attend meeting with foreign leers. 

Trump is accused of abusing his power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, who served on board of a gas company in Ukraine, as Trump withheld $391 million in military aid that he later released. US President is also accused of subsequently obstructing a congressional probe into his actions. matter what rules are in place for Senate trial, Trump seems to be safe from prospect of being convicted and removed from office as Republican Party holds a 53-47 majority in chamber, and conviction requires a two-thirds majority.
