Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass had pledged not to travel internationally during her first year in office, focusing instead on local issues like homelessness and public safety. However, she recently traveled to Paris for a summit on global financing, marking her first international trip as mayor. This decision was influenced by the need to address climate change and seek international partnerships for funding solutions to local problems. Despite her initial promise, Bass justified the trip by highlighting the importance of securing resources for Los Angeles, especially in light of the city's ongoing challenges. Her office emphasized that the trip was not funded by taxpayer money, and she planned to return to Los Angeles immediately after the summit to continue her work on domestic issues.
