Trump’s comments that America was seemingly at a disadvantage because of the pact riled Kerry the most during the interview by CNBC’s Tania Bryer at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“I’m disappointed when the president of the United States lies, and that was a lie,” Kerry said. However he later said that he wasn’t calling Trump himself a liar when pressed, and added that the president was not solely responsible for the global indifference toward climate change.
“So when the president said it put a burden on us, no. We are assuming a de minimis level of what we ought to be doing. And the burden that is being put on the people of the world, as well as the United States is the burden of ignorance to science which is turning away from something as reasonable as what we did in Paris,” said Kerry, the unsuccessful 2004 Democratic presidential candidate who became the top U.S. diplomat during President Barack Obama’s second term.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
