Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump on Monday made an unscheduled, unannounced trip to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall in recognition of the holiday honoring the civil rights icon.

President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, Monday, January 20 in Washington.

Vice President Mike Pence joined the President on the brisk January afternoon, just a couple hours before Trump is set to depart the White House for a quick trip to Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum.

Earlier Monday, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway told reporters in the briefing room that Trump “agrees with many of the things that Dr. Martin Luther King stood for and agreed with for many years, including unity and equality.”

Conway also suggested King would have opposed Trump’s impeachment.
