The Trump administration was not invited to the gathering in Santa Marta, Colombia. A White House spokeswoman called the green transition “destructive.”
Agreement to conduct the necessary phase out is probably not possible if a country run for the benefit of the oil industry is involved in any meaningful way
Makes sense. The Trump admin would 100% send someone with explicit instructions to make headlines by disrupting things.
Even if they didn’t obstruct, their lack of buy-in into any decided measures is a foregone conclusion. They even refuse to acknowledge the problem.
They would 100% sabotage and try to derail the event. Ignoring them is the only logical solution.
Yupp the whitehouse saying its “destructive” just shows they aren’t going to be serious in any of this.
