Kerry's camp has vehemently denied any rumors that he is planning to depart, calling it "baseless speculation."

"I can't stress enough: Secretary Kerry has no plans to depart, and his sole focus is COP27, period, and anything else is baseless speculation," Communications Director Whitney Smith from the Office of the Special President Envoy for Climate told Fox News.

Sunak will spend his time tackling a budget crisis and seeking economic stability and credibility after the British economy fell into turmoil under his predecessor, Liz Truss, who had planned to attend the summit had she stayed on as prime minister. He delayed the release of the planned autumn budget, which is in need of an overhaul.
