At the summit, Obama made brief remarks about the Istanbul terrorist attack:

Of terror attack in Istanbul, Pres Obama denounced "vicious organizations" responsible. "We stand with the people of Turkey," he said.

"We will not rest until we have dismantled these networks of hate" that impact the entire civilized world," says @POTUS of terror groups.

After that, Obama quickly pivoted back to a main purpose of the summit:

US/Canada/Mexican leaders quick to issue joint statement committing to a North American Climate, Clean Energy, and Environment Partnership.

Obama is talking more about climate change as a threat than the two minutes he spent talking about the Istanbul attacks today.

Can you believe it? Twenty-four hours after a major terrorist attack and this feckless @POTUS is talking about 'Climate Change' instead.

The world is burning and Obama wants to make nice with Mexico & talk about climate change! I only can shake my head/ no words
