This theme was somewhat at odds with the primary objectives of COP29, which emphasized reducing reliance on fossil fuels to combat climate change. The political ramifications of Trump’s possible re-entry to power loomed large over the climate talks, with many delegates expressing concerns about rolled-back commitments to international climate agreements.

Xi And Biden Seek Stability Before Trump's Return At their final meeting, leaders stress cooperation amid trade tensions and geopolitical challengesAt the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit held on November 16, 2024, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden for what is likely their final encounter.

The second Trump administration was blossoming to life around him, dressed in black tie and glittery dresses. The action star Sylvester Stallone would soon speak. “The mood is just so freaking hot,” said Caroline Wren, a longtime Republican fundraiser and strategist, who had been telling people at the members-only club that the only job she wants in a second Trump term is to dress as the Easter Bunny on the White House lawn. “It’s cloud nine at all times.”But beyond the celebration and behind closed doors, much was not going according to plan. The president-elect has been largely unfazed, ebullient and soaking in his win on the Mar-a-Lago patio.
