Several House Republicans are pushing a measure that would bar the U.S. from funding the World Economic Forum.
“No funds available to the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development, or any other department or agency may be used to provide funding for the World Economic Forum,” the briefly-worded bill declares.
Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania has been joined by GOP Reps. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, and Matt Rosendale of Montana in introducing the proposal, according to a press release.
“The World Economic Forum doesn’t deserve one cent of American funding, and it’s past time we defund Davos,” Perry said, according to the press release.
“The Defund Davos Act would ensure that U.S. tax dollars are not funding the World Economic Forum and their reset on our way of life. I thank Congressman Perry for leading this important effort,” Tiffany said, according to the press release.
During the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this week, Argentinian President Javier Milei delivered a speech in which he discussed capitalism, as well as the miserable failures of socialism. “The state is not the solution, the state is the problem itself,” he said.
During an appearance on a panel at the WEF meeting, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said that members of the next conservative presidential administration should reject all of the ideas ever proposed at the WEF.
