On the eve of the first full day of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial in Washington, he is again counterprogramming domestic political woes with the projection of presidential power on the global stage, this time jetting off to the Swiss Alps for the annual gathering of the world's elite.

But as past foreign trips have proven, Trump will likely have a hard time leaving politics behind. His overseas journeys have often been overshadowed by controversies playing out back home — which he stirs while abroad. |
