one big issue facing the citizens in the united states, canada of the world, climate change, and mark kearney was the one who led the private financial system to control climate change in their long term business interest. so i think he's got a very strong constituency amongst his fellow g 7 leaders, but among many citizens of the united states, those in los angeles with a wildfires, those on the outskirts of new york city, the hamptons are burning now. and so many other places in the united states, the country. well, um, by the time we get to the canada, ask a stomach, have more appeal um to the real issue. this dangers of the citizens of the united states been donald trump with his big bold read or a good. okay. to jen and, and in terms of his background, i mean, he went to harvard and not split. he is this bush bookish central bank, but has he shown just in the last couple of weeks? perhaps another side of you perhaps, is a shop, a slick of media media performed within some had expected and it seems he's prepared to go on the attack, attacking one man and protect to the a yes indeed, he's
