Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2026

Remarks and an Exchange With Reporters Prior to Departure for Davos, Switzerland

January 20, 2026

The President. So I'm going to Davos. I believe it'll be very successful, the trip.

The country has never done better. We have $18 trillion-plus coming in. We've never had anything like it. And no country has had anything like it. Prices are way down. Gasoline now is

$1.99 in a lot of places. And frankly, nobody has seen anything like this. So it's really good.

But this will be an interesting trip. I have no idea what's going to happen, but you are well represented.

Thank you very much, everybody.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey
