The EU has decided to be carbon neutral by 2050. That doesn't mean they will succeed, of course, but it's still somewhat bold to claim "no country will". Also

The EU has decided to be carbon neutral by 2050. That doesn't mean they will succeed, of course, but it's still somewhat bold to claim "no country will". Also the USA have reentered the Paris climate accords. So at least the current government commits to decarbonisation. I think there will be a significant problem for free trade when some nations put effort into decarbonisation and others do not and continue to use cheap energy. I do not, for instance, think that the EU will simply roll over and let relatively cheap US products flood the market when their own companies are not competitive anymore.
