China’s Xi Jinping and the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen were among the leaders on a private video call organized by the United Nations.
Good. Trump is not who you want at a climate meeting.
At any meeting really
At all, maybe?
I wonder if he would have wanted to be at that meeting
Of course, but only because he wasnt invited.
The US has been a petro-state for over a decade. Can’t imagine what they could bring to the table at this point. Probably the most effective policy towards the US is the same one applied to Iran or Cuba.
A “certain major country” is keen on unilateralism and protectionism and has caused “serious impact” on international rules and order, Xi also said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
That’s rich coming from China. They have never supported or even participated in the rules based order. From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc…
From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc…
At this point you could literally be talking about the US with this sentence.
But the question is, is he wrong here?
The rules based order has always been a farce. Doesn’t excuse the evil shit they do, but let’s not pretend the West was respecting the rules it set up.
And yet, there’s nothing inaccurate in his statement.
That article is very light on detail. I wanted to know if my government was represented, but the article doesn’t even show a list of all the countries participating.
Isn’t Bloomberg supposed to be the source of reliable global business information that’s informing the business leaders of the world, or is this just another random journalism by billionaire outfit?
This was the most complete list I could find.
-
President Xi Jinping of China
-
President Emmanuel Macron of France
-
President William Samoei Ruto of Kenya
-
Prime Minister Hilda Heine of the Marshall Islands
-
African Union, chaired by President João Lourenço of Angola
-
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and its chair, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia
-
the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), chaired by President Surangel Whipps Jr. of the Republic of Palau
-
