Justin Trudeau highlights Washington’s return to fight climate change ahead of Earth Day.
“There’s no question that we need a country of the scale of the US to be part of the solution, not part of the problem, if we’re going to make it as a planet,” he said.China, now the world’s second-largest economy, and the West have grown increasing at odds over a wide array of issues, from trade and intellectual property to Beijing’s crackdown on Hong Kong and Xinjiang.
“There are lots of areas in which we disagree with China, but if we can all create a similar momentum on an issue that touches every corner of this planet, then I think that’s a good thing.”On Monday, Trudeau’s deputy Chrystia Freeland is to deliver his Liberal government’s first budget in two years, with significant funding expected for clean energy projects to anchor Canada’s economic recovery from last year’s pandemic recession.
It’s a message he’s shared with other world leaders whom he said have been “very interested in the fact that not only had I brought in a carbon tax, a price on pollution, but I won elections with that at the heart of our campaign”.
