The European Union and China are to hold a summit this June, which is expected to shape their joint answer to the American protectionist and other threats.

Can China deal with climate change without the U.S.?

April 5, 2017 by Chris Anyfantis Leave a Comment

Last Tuesday U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order which rejects most of the climate initiatives of Obama’s administration. The U.S. President seems to keep his pre-election promises on boosting the coal industry and does not support the fight against global warming. However, China, the second largest economy in the world, has revealed that […]

Last January, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson were not invited to Davos to present their populist, anti-systemic, anti-establishment, anti-globalization political platforms.
