German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Donald Trump are expected at Davos this week, but do not plan to meet.

Attendees include US President Donald Trump, UK Prime Minister Theresa May, and French President Emmanuel Macron, according to the World Economic Forum's tentative list of attendees, which was published last week.
