Trump's GOP Faces Climate Pressure at COP29

At the COP29 climate summit, Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. August Pfluger, advocated for increased U.S. fossil fuel production, emphasizing natural gas exports as a cleaner alternative to other countries' supplies. This stance contrasts with global efforts to reduce fossil fuel reliance. The GOP delegation highlighted a diverse energy strategy, including nuclear and carbon capture, while expressing concerns over China's dominance in clean energy manufacturing. The visit underscores potential shifts in U.S. climate policy under President-elect Trump, who plans to roll back Biden's climate initiatives.
