“We’ve seen it over the years, where a federal government is unwilling or because of logjams, or in this case, Republican interference, unable to actually move forward on the type of climate leadership that’s necessary.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with California Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday, where they are both attending the ninth Summit of the Americas. The press conference focused mainly on the joint efforts of Canada and the state to fight climate change.
Trudeau said that he realized it was necessary to work with partners beside the federal level of government in other countries, and specifically named the Republican Party as a source of interference.
“We’ve seen it over the years, where a federal government is unwilling or because of logjams in this case, Republican interference, unable to actually move forward on the type of climate leadership that’s necessary, state governments and cities step up.
