Newsom Criticizes Trump's Climate Policy at COP30

Imagine grown-ups from different countries meeting to talk about how to keep our planet healthy, called a climate summit.

The leader of the United States, President Trump, decided not to go.

But the governor of California, a state in the U.S. named Gavin Newsom, went and spoke a lot.

He said that President Trump was wrong to not care about the planet and to support companies that hurt the environment.

Governor Newsom said that President Trump has stopped the U.S. from being part of an important agreement to help the planet two times.

He said that even though President Trump won't be in charge forever, it's important to do the right thing for the Earth.

Governor Newsom also talked about how his state, California, is already using a lot of clean energy, like from the sun and wind.

Other leaders at the summit listened to him because even though states can't make the final decisions, they can still show they care about the environment.
