President Trump may cancel his upcoming trip this month to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, if the partial government shutdown continues, he said Thursday.

“I intended to go and speak in front of the world financial community in Davos. That’s still on, but if the shutdown continues, which is in a while from now, but if the shutdown continues, I won’t go,” Trump told reporters before departing the White House for Texas. “I had planned to go. It’s been very successful when I went. We have a great story to tell.”
