Biden taking big risk with this week's climate change summit of world leaders
Dean Rachel Kyte is quoted in reference to the White House Summit on Climate Change, via an article in The Hill.
Though excited about the U.S., European allies are concerned about how committed the nation is, considering how volatile the American political environment has become.
"The rest of the world was deeply relieved [Biden rejoined the Paris accord]," Rachel Kyte, dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, said. "But the rest of the world also knows that the United States has a political system that means that it could leave again."
European allies are also looking for specific measures that come along with Biden’s ambitious ideas.
"It's always easier to be able to say, 'Do as we do, not do as we say,'" Kyte said.
