"States like California are permanent. We're reliable, stable partners. Had a chance just a moment ago to be on a panel talking about climate policy. We saw what Trump just did with the endangerment finding, completely rolling back progress of the last half century, wants to recreate the 19th Century. And we want to transform our economy. We want to dominate in the next great global economy, low carbon, green growth."
"No. They see us as a wrecking ball. They see us as unreliable. And and a lot of them think irrevocable, they don't think we'll ever come back to our original form. I'm not as convinced of that. Whatever happens, we can undo, we can shape-shift (ph), we can fix it. And while trust is difficult to re-establish, there's too much at stake in a multinational from a multi-international perspective that we have a lot of work to do once Trump's done."
World leaders at the Munich Security Conference view the United States under Donald Trump as unreliable and a 'wrecking ball.' California positions itself as permanent, reliable, and a stable international partner that will outlast federal policy shifts. The federal rollback of the endangerment finding is characterized as reversing nearly half a century of climate progress and an attempt to recreate 19th-century policies. California emphasizes transforming its economy toward low-carbon, green growth and aims to lead the next global economy. Rebuilding multinational trust will require significant work once Trump leaves office, but the damage is not portrayed as irreversible.
