Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau share clean energy goals in Mexico meeting – By Joe Fisher (UPI) / Jan 10, 2023
Jan. 10 (UPI) — President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, meeting Tuesday in Mexico, voiced a shared goal to turn North America into “a clean energy powerhouse.”
Biden and Trudeau, meeting ahead of the North American Leaders Summit, also discussed a shared vision for defense, including support for Ukraine.
Biden has set an emissions goal of reducing domestic greenhouse gas emissions by 50% below 2005 levels by 2030. At COP27 in November, he voiced support for assisting developing nations that have been significantly and disproportionately affected by climate change.
“We should be the clean energy powerhouse of the world. And that’s not hyperbole; I genuinely mean that,” Biden said in remarks alongside Trudeau, according to the White House.
