Cop30: Demonstrators break into venue and clash with security; Gavin Newsom blasts Donald Trump for 'dumb' US climate policy
"China is flooding the zone and will dominate in the next great global industry,"
"The United States of America is as dumb as we want to be on this topic, but the state of California is not. And so we are going to assert ourselves, we're going to lean in, and we are going to compete in this space,"
Protesters clashed with security at a COP30 venue in Belem, prompting barricades and the evacuation of an injured security guard in a wheelchair. Hundreds of protesters had marched to the venue and dispersed shortly after the clash. One security guard suffered a head cut after being hit by a drum thrown by a protester. California committed to prioritizing green technology and competing in the clean-energy market amid federal rollbacks on climate action. The federal reversal was characterized as "dumb" and criticized for ceding market share to China, which is portrayed as poised to dominate the next major global industry.
