Climate Envoy John Kerry Claims China’s Use of Forced Labor to Build Solar Panels Is ‘Not My Lane’

White House Climate Envoy John Kerry insists that the issue of China’s use of forced labor to build solar panels is not in his “lane” as the U.S. announced a new agreement to combat 🌍Climate Change.

After the deal was announced, Kerry was asked, “How in the several months of meetings behind the scenes with China did you bring up some of those very contentious issues, such as the use of forced labor in Xinjiang for building solar panels. How did you address it, and how did you kind of overcome it?”

“Well, we’re honest about the differences. And we certainly know what they are, and we’ve articulated them. But that’s not my lane here,” Kerry, who served as the nation’s top diplomat under former President Barack Obama, said.

He added, “My job is to be the climate guy.”

Kerry’s comments come after the U.S. and China signed an agreement to work together to combat 🌍Climate Change.

Kerry labeled the agreement “a road map for our future collaboration” to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
