Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has canceled a planned trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos this year, presidential spokesman Otavio Rego Barros told reporters on Wednesday.

Barros said security concerns were a factor in the decision, but denied any connection with recent events in the Middle East, adding that unspecified "political and economic aspects" were also part of the decision.
