COP 23 will continue with or without President Donald Trump.
This was mentioned by the Prime Minister – Voreqe Bainimarama, at the Methodist Conference yesterday when asked about his views on the backing down of the American President on this campaign.
“We had discussions with the Australian government on climate change when someone asked bout President Trump. They said it does not matter is president Trump refuses to join, COP 23 will continue . What we aim is for big nations to agree with us. But we want him to join us in this campaign against climate change,” Prime Minister – Voreqe Bainimarama.
Bainimarama says there is still hope that President Trump will change his mind.
“We don’t want him because he is the president, we want him because he has the funding to give for the construction of our seawalls. We are confused about his decision but we will keep inviting him to join us in this campaign.”
