"He'll be gone in three years," Newsom said at the Munich Security Conference.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom called on world leaders attending the Munich Security Conference in Germany to think about a future without President Donald Trump.
Newsom's comments on climate policy reflected the larger theme of his message for Europe.
"I hope if there is nothing else I communicate today: Donald Trump is temporary. He'll be gone in three years," Newsom said.
He added, "It's important for folks to understand the temporary nature of this current administration in relationship to the issue of climate change and climate policy."
He slammed the Trump administration's rollback of the 2009 "endangerment finding" and accused the United States of "doubling down on stupid" climate policy to benefit the oil, gas and coal industries.
Of Trump, Newsom encouraged leaders to "call this guy out" and stand up to the administration's actions on the climate and beyond.
"I'm under assault and attack by this guy every single day. Here's the president of the United States, he's 80 years old and he's calling me a nickname an 8-year-old called me," Newsom said.
Newsom, along with other Democrats, are attending the Munich Security Conference to boost their profiles and strengthen bonds with European allies.
The Democrats plan to push an alternative to Trump's aggressive and transactional foreign policy agenda, lawmakers, aides and analysts told ABC News.
