Trump's cuts let China lead green investment

President Trump has eliminated U.S. climate finance, potentially allowing China to become the leading green energy investor in developing nations. This decision follows a global agreement for developed countries to provide $300 billion in climate finance by 2035. China is already capitalizing on the U.S. shift, with President Xi Jinping promising clean energy deals in Southeast Asia, where U.S. tariffs are high. China's existing clean energy infrastructure and trade relationships give it a significant advantage. Experts are debating whether China and the EU will fill the climate finance gap. Some worry about China's commitment, while others believe other nations will step up to maintain global climate goals.
