Robert Redford has spoken out against Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, saying the US president failed “to embrace or even understand sound scientific consensus”.
The actor broached the topic in an opinion piece he signed with his son James Redford, published by NBC News.
Titled “Trump’s coronavirus failures offer warnings and lessons about future climate change challenges”, the piece expresses hope that lessons from the coronavirus pandemic could be used to tackle the climate crisis in the future.
Here in the US, we have seen the cost of failed leadership,” both Redfords wrote.
