Trump’s Climate Absence Sparks Latin Roast at COP30 Brazil

At COP30 in Belém, Brazil on November 6, 2025, Latin American leaders served a spicy chalupa of climate shade aimed squarely at Trump. Brazil’s President Lula da Silva delivered a subtle snub about 'extremist forces fabricating fake news,' which is cute code for 'Hey Donald.' Colombian Prez Gustavo Petro slammed Trump as 'against humanity' after the US sanctioned Colombia last month over tariffs and military threats. Meanwhile Chile's Gabriel Boric declared Trump's climate denial a 'lie' at the UN. British PM Starmer and French President Macron added somber notes about climate misinformation threatening democracy. The White House fired back calling green energy a 'scam' and Trump’s agenda 'commonsense,' proving denial is still America’s favorite energy source.
