What can we expect from Trump's speech in Davos

President Donald Trump is expected to deliver an "American First" message when he speaks at the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Friday.

Expect "America First," a broadside against unfair trade practices, tough talk toward enemies and a fair bit of bragging when Trump speaks, experts from the fields of defense, foreign policy, economics and politics.

Since entering office one year ago, Trump has overturned both his predecessors' policies and political norms, touting his accomplishments while lamenting negative coverage from the press. Critics fear he has alienated and insulted important allies, while his supporters laud his focus on an "America First" agenda.

"Trump has every right to brag about what he has accomplished for the U.S. in the past year.He'll definitely talk about tax reform, and he'll definitely talk about how encouraging companies to bring their money back here will only propel the economy that much stronger." said Jan Halper-Hayes, former worldwide vice president of Republicans Overseas,

"And I expect he will do some bragging about the strength of the U.S. stock market and the wisdom of the tax reform bill, and will point to the recent announcements of new investments in the U.S. to bolster the case that his tough new approach is working." Edward Alden, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

For Xenia Wickett, head of the U.S. and Americas Programme at U.K. policy think-tank Chatham House, there shouldn't be anything new to expect, as the White House hasn't hinted at any impending announcements.

"I imagine he will maintain his rhetoric on America First and perhaps, if necessary, defend his positions on recent issues such as Jerusalem and keeping the pressure on North Korea,"
