Trump went off-script in a brief question-and-answer exchange with World Economic Forum host Klaus Schwab.
Similarly, 11 countries are forging ahead with the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) after the U.S. pulled out of the deal, though the USA president said on Friday that he may be willing to negotiate trade deals with the TPP countries either bilaterally or as a bloc.
Trump has left numerous foreign companies uneasy in light of his "America First" agenda, which includes recently announced import duties on solar cells, a threat to end the North American Free Trade Agreement and possible tariffs on steel.
Wearing feather-tipped hats and long-tailed jackets as part of their red-and-blue uniforms, the 37-member ensemble belted out "The Coburger March" by Michael Hadyn, as Trump stood calmly for the 3-1/2 minute rendition.
Still, the reception was more polite than might have been expected, given the open anxiety with which the prospect of a Trump presidency was met at Davos a year ago.
Tony Abrahams, whose company Ai-Media uses artificial intelligence for real-time transcription, said he was pleased to hear Trump say "America First doesn't mean America alone".
The Washington Post first reported Trump used the language during an Oval Office meeting on immigration with a bipartisan group of senators. Businesses around the world crave stability, and the tax cuts will likely have to be revisited in the coming years to address burgeoning USA deficits, she said.

In one of his first actions as president, Trump withdrew the US from a 12-nation Asia Pacific trade pact negotiated under the Obama administration.
As Trump sat on stage, Schwab noted that the president's "strong leadership is open to misconceptions and biased interpretations, so it is essential for us in the room to listen directly to you".
"I've always loved business", he said.
As she departed Trump's speech, Lyn Cobley, chief executive of Westpac Institutional Bank, Australia's oldest bank, took home the message that the United States was eager for investment. "We would consider negotiating with the rest individually or perhaps as a group if it is in the interests of all", he said.

We also discuss Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's comments on America's "weak dollar" and what it means for the economy. His comments prompted some audible boos from the audience, according to a pool reporter at the event. Asked about the report on Friday, Trump dismissed it as "fake news".
The newspaper cited four anonymous sources as saying that Trump had ordered the firing of Russian Federation investigation special prosecutor Robert Mueller past year, but had backed off when the White House counsel threatened to resign.
