SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — U.S. climate envoy John Kerry has met with his Chinese counterpart at annual United Nations climate talks underway in Egypt.

Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed a day earlier to resume climate change talks with the United States, which he had put on hold three months earlier in retaliation for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan.
