California Governor Gavin Newsom attended a European summit, where he and other Democratic officials criticized President Donald Trump’s actions. The event took place in Munich, Germany.
Newsom was joined by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) at the conference. During their remarks, both officials expressed strong opposition to Trump’s policies.
According to reports, Newsom stated that Trump’s attacks are bringing European leaders together. AOC also made comments critical of Trump, calling his actions “stupid.”
The summit was attended by various high-ranking officials from across Europe and North America. The event aimed to strengthen alliances between the United States and its European partners.
Newsom’s office has confirmed that he traveled to Munich on a state-funded trip. However, it is unclear whether taxpayers ultimately paid for the costs associated with his visit.
The 2028 presidential election is expected to be a significant factor in shaping the Democratic Party’s platform and strategy. Several high-profile officials, including Newsom and AOC, have used the summit as an opportunity to raise their profiles and build support among potential voters.
