[On the G-7 Summit] Justin Trudeau would clearly like to avoid a G6 + 1.
[On the Paris Agreement] The most important piece of good news, and it wasn't a foregone conclusion, is that other countries have stayed in and doubled down on their general determination not to walk away, not to let the US 'cancel' the agreement.
[On the US Paris Agreement withdrawal] It’s good news that other countries haven’t walked away. The less positive part is that it has been very damaging for the US. In the absence of the US, we are seeing some countries try to pull back on what was agreed to in Paris. When you have the largest historical emitter not part of the deal, that is obviously not good.
