Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that the United States had voiced readiness at the G20 summit in Japan to work on the climate issue but within the framework of its own programme and not under the Paris Agreement.
“Everyone knows the current [US] administration’s position regarding the Paris Agreement … However, there is a certain positive moment, in my opinion, in the US stance as well, because the Americans have stated their readiness to work on the environmental agenda but under their own program,” Putin said at a press conference at the end of the summit
