Marine One touched down at Swiss ski resort Davos on Wednesday afternoon conveying U.S. President Donald Trump to the very heart of internationalism, the annual World Economic Forum conference, an event due to be dominated by national security and Greenland.

The second flight touched down at Zurich International Airport a little after midday local time (0740 Eastern) where the President transferred to the Marine One helicopter for his transfer to the mountains.
President Trump is due to address Davos around 0830 Eastern, on time, despite the delayed flight.
