[ICYMI] White House rebukes World Bank chief in climate row

Under mounting fire, Malpass has rejected suggestions he might quit over the uproar -- and has moved to clarify his position several times in recent days.

Malpass is a veteran of Republican US administrations and was tapped to lead the bank in 2019 by then-president Donald Trump, who famously and repeatedly denied the science behind climate change. "We condemn the words of the president," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told a White House briefing in response to the incident.

"I'm not a denier," he told the network, saying his message had been"tangled" and he was"not always good at conveying" what he means. "The US believes the World Bank must be a full partner in delivering on the aggressive climate agenda, poverty reduction and sustainability development. Again, Treasury will hold Malpass accountable to this position and support the many staff working to fight climate change.

"Unfortunately the World Bank has not taken the kind of global leadership that the world needs right now" on climate and other critical issues, said Stiglitz, himself a former chief economist of the institution.
