A handful of House Republicans have proposed a bill that would prohibit American tax dollars from funding the World Economic Forum (WEF) while criticizing the transnational organization and its goals as misguided, elitist, and “anti-American.”

Called the Defund Davos Act, the measure would prohibit any funds available to the U.S. Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development—or any other department or agency for that matter—from providing funding for the WEF, according to a Jan. 19 press release.
