Newsom rants about European leaders ‘rolling over’ on Trump: ‘Handing out crowns’

Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, is slated to speak in Davos on Thursday, one day after Trump gives a special address on Wednesday.

Newsom railed against European leaders on Tuesday for “rolling over” to Trump’s demands, saying if world leaders are nervous about Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland, they need to “have a backbone.” He also specifically hit Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado for presenting her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, who has been vocal about his belief that he deserved the honor.

“I can’t take this complicity, people rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders. I mean, handing out crowns, this is pathetic. Nobel prizes, they’re being given away. I mean, it’s just pathetic,”
