WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy settles lawsuit against World Economic Forum

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said the World Economic Forum (WEF) has met all of the demands in his case against it. .“I have been one of the most vocal advocates of our sovereignty as a nation, and I have been one of the most vocal opponents of the ESG (environment, social, and governance) movement that politicizes our capital markets," said Ramaswamy in a Tuesday video. ."Or globalist institutions like the World Economic Forum that erode on the sovereignty of self-governing republics like the United States of America.” .Ramaswamy said it was a mystery when the WEF named him on a list of Young Global Leaders with other Americans and young people from around the world..He rejected the idea, saying he “deeply disagrees with the values of the World Economic Forum and that I wouldn’t be a good fit for inclusion.” .After declining the award, he found out his photo appeared on the WEF’s website. He contacted it and told it to take his photo down, which it refused to do. .While he is a successful American, he said he was not going to let the WEF get away with that. He filed a lawsuit against it for putting up his photo. .His lawsuit requested the organization take down his affiliation, apologize, and commit to never try to do the same action it did to him to another person. He said he "was prepared to go to the fullest extent because I had the arguments and the facts of the law on my side, and we were not going to stop and let them off the hook." .The WEF has agreed to his demands. While he was not in this case for the money, there was a financial component to the settlement. .Ramaswamy acknowledged he did not want the money. He directed the money to the America First Policy Institute. .He said this case was not about him. It was about the US and its future. .What he said the US needs now is leaders with a spine. These leaders need to go beyond writing books and starting companies such as Strive to fight against the ESG movement as he has done. .Ramaswamy added that is what he has done in court and what he will do as the next US president. .“And we will stop at nothing until we have restored the sovereignty of the United States of America and the ideals, the 1776 ideals, of the American Revolution that set this nation into motion,” he said.
