The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States doesn’t have to throw the World Bank off course in meeting its climate targets, the anti-poverty lender’s President Ajay Banga said.
“Let’s watch his actions, watch his deeds and work with him on explaining why these things are good for American business, for European businesses, and for everybody else,” he said in an interview with Bloomberg TV at the COP29 climate talks in Azerbaijan on Tuesday.
