Kerry Apologizes to Sweden for America Not Doing Enough To Combat Climate Change

Visiting Sweden, Kerry Offers ‘Regret’ that U.S. Hasn’t Done More on Climate (The Hill)

Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday in Sweden that he wishes the United States had made more progress in battling climate change.

“I have to say that I regret that my own country — and President Obama knows this and is committed to changing it — needs to do more and we are committed to doing more,” Kerry said in Sweden at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt.

Obama has vowed new second-term executive actions on climate change, but has not laid out a detailed agenda.
