John Kerry rejects Iraq war accusations in French TV talk

In a French TV interview, US climate envoy John Kerry defended the US stance on Ukraine and denied that the Iraq war was a war of aggression or a crime based on a lie.

J ohn Kerry, the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and former Democratic candidate for President, was interviewed on French TV LCI following the Climate Finance Summit in Paris.

During the interview, host Darius Rochebin questioned Kerry on why countries of the Global South do not support the West and Ukraine against Russia.

Rochebin asked if there was a double standard between the United States’s position on Vladimir Putin’s “war of aggression” in Ukraine and the fact that former US President George W. Bush was not held to the same standard for the war in Iraq.
