"Gov. Gavin Newsom is heading to a conference of world leaders in Germany later this week as part of his ongoing effort to use the global stage to urge investment in California's climate-related initiatives and challenge President Trump's isolationist policies. Newsom will appear at the Munich Security Conference to talk about trade and jobs and tell foreign leaders that "California is a stable and reliable partner," he said Tuesday during an unrelated event."
"Vice President JD Vanc's appearance at last year's gathering created a controversy after he argued that European's immigration policies are too relaxed and European nations too reliant on the U.S. Ahead of the gathering, conference organizers released a report Monday that found that the "world has entered a period of wrecking-ball politics. Sweeping destruction -- rather than careful reforms and policy corrections -- is the order of the day.""
Gov. Gavin Newsom will attend the Munich Security Conference in Germany to seek foreign investment for California's climate-related initiatives and to challenge isolationist U.S. policies. He plans to speak on trade, jobs and technological competitiveness and to present California as a stable, reliable partner. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading the official U.S. delegation, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are also expected to attend. The three-day conference focuses on trade, economics, security and foreign policy and released a report warning that the world has entered a period of "wrecking-ball politics." Newsom indicated he will emphasize competing with China for new technologies and job growth.
