Newsom, on the world stage at Davos, accuses Trump of trying to suppress dissent

AI Summary

short article 1 min

California Governor Gavin Newsom accused the Trump administration of blocking his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Newsom's scheduled conversation with Fortune at USA House, a privately run venue serving as the official US hub, was canceled the day before he was set to speak. Newsom believes the cancellation was an attempt by the Trump administration to suppress dissent following Trump's own speech at the forum. He characterized the action as consistent with the administration's "authoritarian tendencies" and a reversal of American values regarding freedom of expression. Newsom, who is considering a 2028 presidential run, made these remarks during a separate appearance at Davos.
