American journalist Cardillo: Putin and Xi Jinping must have cheered Biden COP26 in Glasgow. The corresponding message appeared on his Twitter account.
In his opinion, with his caustic statements, Biden only amused Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. “This is a shame for the whole world,” the publicist believes.
The author mentioned in the article the statement of the American leader about “serious problems with the climate”, which, according to him, are observed in Russia. In response, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the United States is pursuing a non-systematic policy in this area, when Moscow is actively and consistently fulfilling its obligations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Earlier it was reported that the secret service had “evacuated” Biden from an event at the Glasgow Climate Summit as he prepared to announce a new plan to reduce methane emissions. The American leader was removed from the meeting for security reasons, as too many people gathered in the meeting room. The organizers of the summit were forced to postpone the event.
The international climate conference COP26 began in Glasgow on October 31 and is due to end on November 12. Participants discuss the problem of global warming and measures that will help contain the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
