Gavin Newsom says his planned fireside chat at the U.S. House pavilion during the World Economic Forum in Davos was canceled after pressure from the White House and State Department. His office says the U.S. House denied him entry to the venue and the event; the pavilion instead offered him a separate evening reception.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. House and Fortune,the forum&#8217;s media partner,said Newsom had been invited but that his participation was later called off for logistical,security,or programming reasons. Newsom posted on X criticizing the decision as cowardly. The White House dismissed his presence at Davos and a spokesperson used a derogatory nickname for the governor. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also mocked Newsom at a Davos panel, while President Trump-speaking at the forum-gave him a friendly shout-out, calling him a &#8220;good guy.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Newsom claims Trump administration blocked his Davos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ethics-questions-raised-about-bidens-son-in-laws-investments-in-covid-19-response\/\" title=\"Ethics Questions Raised about Biden\u2019s Son-in-Law\u2019s Investments in Covid-19 Response\">speaking engagement<\/a><\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2480008\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gavin-newsom\/\">Gavin Newsom <\/a>(D-CA) alleged on Wednesday that his speaking engagement in Davos, Switzerland, was canceled due to pressure from the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\">Trump administration<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Newsom <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4425167\/newsom-rants-european-leaders-rolling-over-trump-handing-out-crowns\/\">is in Switzerland <\/a>for the Davos <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/world-economic-forum\/\">World Economic Forum<\/a>, where he was scheduled to participate in a fireside chat following President Donald Trump&rsquo;s address, according to his press office.
