California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said the governor was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, after being invited to speak at the event due to “pressure” from the Trump administration.

Newsom had been scheduled to speak with Fortune at the USA House, Davos, a privately organized event, at the World Economic Forum, which has been recognized by the U.S. government as the nation’s headquarters in Davos.

    Clown governor getting the standard Trump pimp slap.

    This man is never going to be president if Donald Trump can bully him so easily

      Newsom would be a categorically awful pick for president. Being better than orangeboi is a very, very low bar.

      And this of course also assumes we’re still having elections at that point - let alone this year.

      What do you want him to do, force himself in to speak? I’m not a fan of the guy but I don’t understand what he’s supposed to do here
