The Trump administration has withdrawn the US from the international climate Loss and Damage Fund, which aimed to assist poorer nations affected by climate change. Critics argue this move undermines the US's commitments, given its status as the largest historical emitter of carbon dioxide.

This decision has faced significant criticism from climate analysts and advocates, who stress the negative consequences for vulnerable countries that have contributed least to the crisis. The fund, established in 2022, had garnered pledges from other nations, highlighting the US's retreat from its climate responsibilities.

In another vein, Mike Tindall has refused to wear traditional Scottish trews at the request of his wife, Zara, and mother-in-law, Princess Anne. Despite family ties to Scotland, he remains steadfast in his decision, illustrating a personal rivalry with Scots that influences his choices.
