Governor Gavin Newsom is preparing to take direct aim at President Donald Trump on the world stage. Newsom is set to speak Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, just a day after Trump’s appearance. In a written preview, Newsom says California will stand firm as Trump weakens traditional alliances. He warns that staying silent amounts to complicity. Critics continue to brand Newsom a “Davos Democrat,” arguing he is too closely aligned with global elites.
