Trump haunts stalled global climate talks

The mere idea of Donald Trump returning to the White House is already upending global climate talks. 

The specter of his return hung over two weeks of diplomatic negotiations in Bonn, where nearly 200 countries met for talks but got little accomplished. A key reason? Trump, according to numerous negotiators. 

Whether or not he storms back to the White House will be pivotal to the result of this year’s annual climate conference, COP29, which will be held just six days after the United States election.
