Britain should seek to fill the leadership void created by Donald Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the landmark Paris Agreement, Climate Change Minister Claire Perry said Monday.
While Prime Minister Theresa May has been criticized by some environmental groups for failing to speak out over the U.S. president’s June 1 decision to step back from the 2015 Paris deal, Perry said U.K. ministers “haven’t missed an opportunity” to express their disappointment over the news.
