Withdrawal of UN climate proposal urged
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The Trump administration is urging other nations to press a tiny Pacific island country to withdraw a United Nations draft resolution supporting strong action to prevent climate change, including reparations for damage caused by any nation that fails to take actiom. That’s according to State Department guidance issued this week to all U.S. embassies and consulates abroad. The State Department says in the cable obtained by the AP that if the proposal being discussed by the U.N. General Assembly is adopted, it “could pose a major threat to U.S. industry.” It’s the latest move by the Trump administration to distance the U.S. from climate change efforts at home and around the world.
