The Biden administration’s top climate negotiator, former Secretary of State John Kerry, said President-elect Donald Trump’s “unpredictability” could be an advantage in dealing with adversaries.

“He makes unpredictability a virtue, and it actually can be helpful,” Kerry said on Nov. 21 at an event hosted by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics.
