💨 Abstract

Palau's President Surangel Whipps Jr remains positive that the Trump Administration will maintain focus on the Pacific region, despite USAID cuts. Palau, with a compact of free association with the U.S., emphasizes the need for a strong U.S. presence for its defense. Palau supports Australia's COP31 climate change summit bid and believes Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement motivates Pacific countries to demonstrate the urgency of climate change.
