The twenty-sixth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 26) to the UNFCCC held in Glasgow, Scotland, started. World leaders met today in Glasgow to discuss the global threat of the climate change crisis. More than 190 world leaders will participate, along with tens of thousands of negotiators, government representatives, businesses and citizens for twelve days of talks. The conference will focus on limiting global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and reaching the target of zero carbon emissions by 2050.
China has imposed a 34% customs duty on all US goods in response to the same rate announced by US President Donald Trump. The move includes trade restrictions on rare earth exports critical to tech and defense industries and the suspension of chicken imports from two US firms.
China also blacklisted 11 American companies, including major defense and tech firms, banning them from trade with Chinese entities. Additionally, China filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization, calling the US tariffs a violation of global trade rules and an act of “unilateral bullying.”
