SACRAMENTO\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s office said the California governor was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday under pressure from the Trump administration.<\/p>\n
Newsom had been asked to speak at an event at USA House, an American pavilion at the annual gathering of world leaders. Newsom\u2019s office said they were told that a \u201cvenue-level decision\u201d was made to \u201cnot include an elected U.S. official\u201d in tonight\u2019s programming. The fireside chat was scheduled for Wednesday evening in Davos, which is nine hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time, with media outlet Fortune.<\/p>\n
Newsom spokesman Izzy Gardon said after Newsom was uninvited to the event by USA House, they offered to allow him to have a \u201cVIP nightcap\u201d to have a drink off the record instead. <\/p>\n
The White House could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n
The World Economic Forum\u2019s stated mission is engaging in \u201cforward-looking discussions to address global issues and set priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
