World Economic Forum Settles with Vivek Ramaswamy, Officially Removes the GOP Presidential Candidate from ‘Young Global Leaders’ List

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced Tuesday that he has received an apology letter from the World Economic Forum (WEF) and an agreement that the organization will pay an undisclosed settlement as a result of listing him without permission on its list of Young Global Leaders in 2021.

Ramaswamy sued the WEF earlier this year after the organization “refused to completely remove his name and photo from their website” after he “repeatedly” opposed the organization including him in its Young Global Leaders program.

“I rejected their award. I declined it. I said that I deeply disagreed with the values of the World Economic Forum and that I wouldn’t be a good fit for inclusion,” Ramaswamy said in a video statement. “A few months later, I was told that my name showed up on their website anyway. I contacted them. I told them to take it down. They had the gall to still leave my name.”

“I’ve been the leading opponent in America of the World Economic Forum’s agenda, through two books & my most recent company Strive which finally put BlackRock & the ESG movement on their back foot. Two years ago, WEF tried to throw false bait by naming me a “Young Global Leader” when I explicitly rejected their ridiculous award,” Ramaswamy explained. “They repeatedly failed to remove my name despite escalating demands. So I sued them. And we just succeeded.”

Ramaswamy said the WEF met all of his demands in the lawsuit, including a public apology and disavowal as well as a ”commitment to never name someone again without their explicit permission.”

The GOP presidential candidate further said he will direct all undisclosed proceeds from the WEF settlement to the America First Policy Institute, which he said “stands for American interests against the WEF agenda.”

“The Great Uprising will defeat the Great Reset – just like we did in 1776,” Ramaswamy added.

Ramaswamy shared the letter he received from the WEF in an emailed press release, in which the organization apologized for including the presidential candidate in its program without his permission and noted changes have been made to its process so that no future individuals would be included in its program without their consent.
