HOUSTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) – Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday urged a new look at global trade rules, calling the existing mediator of trade disputes, the World Trade Organization, “neutered.”
Kerry, who stepped down as President Joe Biden’s climate envoy earlier this year, also urged cooperation with China on climate in wide ranging comments on trade, tariffs and the energy transition from fossil fuels at the Gastech energy conference in Houston.

“I advocate working with China on climate because China is 30% of all emissions on the planet and is now the biggest producer of some of these (energy transition) technologies.”
