Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is suing the World Economic Forum, claiming the Swiss-based organization falsely portrayed him as one of its “young global leaders” and refused to take his name off its website for two years.
Ramaswamy, 37, the son of immigrants from India who says he is worth $500 million, does not want to be associated with the WEF’s “progressive” and “radical” policies and positions, according to the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in a Cincinnati, Ohio, court.
Major political figures as varied as Russia’s Vladimir Putin, then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been “Young Global Leaders” (YGLs) under the aegis of the WEF.
But Ramaswamy is among many conservatives and others who think the WEF, which holds a splashy conference every year in the Swiss alpine town of Davos, is run by elites who are orchestrating what the WEF literally calls a “new world order.”
“This is an organization that does a lot of wrong and I’ve opposed it publicly and believe it should be held accountable,” Ramaswamy told The Post.
“The WEF has a radical worldview that rejects the principles America was founded on. I’m not interested in being a ‘global citizen.’ I’m an American.”
The WEF was established in 1971 by German mechanical engineer Klaus Schwab, 85
