“Don’t blame me.”
That’s what John Kerry, the former U.S. secretary of state, said about President Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly — one that took shots at the U.N., called climate change “the greatest con job ever,” and scorned multilateralism from the global stage.
“The speech speaks for itself, and you know what I’m referring to,” said Kerry, speaking from the stage of the Building Bridges conference in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday. “All in all, though, I left New York with a real sense of optimism.”
