U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns of a potential new Cold War if the U.S. and China don't repair their relationship, which he calls “completely dysfunctional.” Guterres spoke to AP ahead of the U.N. gathering of world leaders this week.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres spoke to The Associated Press this weekend ahead of this week’s annual United Nations gathering of world leaders — a convening blemished by COVID, climate concerns and contentiousness across the planet.
He reiterated that warning in the AP interview, adding that two rival geopolitical and military strategies would pose “dangers” and divide the world. Thus, he said, the foundering relationship must be repaired — and soon. “Now, today, everything is more fluid, and even the experience that existed in the past to manage crisis is no longer there,” Guterres said.
After all, he said, the United States and many other countries had thousands of soldiers in Afghanistan and spent trillions of dollars and weren’t able to solve the country’s problems — and, some say, made them worse. Guterres said Biden’s commitment to global action on climate, including rejoining the 2015 Paris climate agreement that Trump withdrew from, is “probably the most important of them all.”
