California Governor Gavin Newsom accused the Trump administration of blocking his entry to USA House, an American venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, January 22, 2026. This alleged denial led to the cancellation of his planned "fireside chat" with a Fortune editor. Newsom, a frequent critic of Trump, suggested the action was consistent with the administration's "authoritarian tendencies" after he criticized European leaders for not standing up to Trump. The White House did not respond to questions about the incident. While USA House has corporate sponsors, the U.S. government is an official partner at the venue.
