US seeks to lead crackdown on coal dependence

Washington, Apr 20 (Prensa Latina) The United States is meaning to lead the crackdown on coal dependence worldwide, according to a speech by the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

In Blinken’s view, when countries continue to rely on coal for a significant amount of their energy, or invest in new coal factories, or allow for massive deforestation, ‘they will hear from the United States and our partners about how harmful these actions are.’

¨Our diplomats will challenge the practices of nations whose action -or inaction- is setting us back,’ Blinken said.

Donald Trump unilaterally decided to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the new administration has reversed such a step.
