"Donald Trump casts a long shadow over the U.N. climate summit in Dubai. If elected, he will likely again pull the United States from the Paris climate accord."
"DUBAI — U.S. officials at the U.N. Climate Change Conference here have tried to hammer home one message since Donald Trump left the White House: The United States is fully committed to the fight against climate change.
But while Biden administration officials were sharing such assurances inside the U.S. pavilion on Friday, outside the pavilion, a former Trump White House climate adviser was forecasting a potentially seismic shift in international climate politics.
George David Banks, who traveled to Dubai with a group of Republican lawmakers, predicted in an interview that Trump would use a second term to again withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord."
