California Governor Gavin Newsom slammed former President Donald Trump’s policies at COP30 in Belem, calling his offshore drilling plan “dead on arrival.” Newsom also criticized U.S. military strikes on suspected drug vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific, saying the operations lacked transparency and congressional consent. Speaking on climate and economic issues, he warned Trump’s energy policies would raise Americans’ bills by 10%, and emphasized the critical importance of the upcoming U.S. elections. Flanked by U.N. security, Newsom met with officials from over 195 countries, highlighting California’s global economic influence despite being a single U.S. state.<br />#US #trump #gavinnewsom #apt
