"No country should withhold progress on existential transnational issues because of bilateral differences," said the former U.S. Secretary of State, who is currently the Biden administration's top climate diplomat. "Suspending cooperation doesn’t punish the United States – it punishes the world, particularly the developing world," he said.Reporting by Valerie Volcovici Editing by Chris Reese
