`Davos Man’ Says Trump Welcome at the Epicenter of Globalization

(Bloomberg) -- The quintessential “Davos Man” executive is prepared to lay down a welcome mat alongside Air Force One.

“The more people participate -- particularly people with a high power level -- the more interesting it is, the more it gives meaning to Davos,” Carlos Ghosn, the chairman of automakers Renault SA, Nissan Motor Co. and Mitsubishi Motors Corp., said in a Bloomberg Television interview Tuesday. “So I welcome this opportunity to hear from the president.”

Trump to Take ‘America First’ Message to Davos Global Elite

The White House announced Tuesday that President Donald Trump plans to attend the World Economic Forum later this month. Ghosn, 63, is a regular at the annual meeting of financial and economic elite in Davos, Switzerland. Born in Brazil, raised in Lebanon, and educated in France, Bloomberg Businessweek profiled him as a staunch and vocal defender of globalization in July.
