US President Donald Trump has once again withdrawn the nation from the Paris climate agreement. This decision was part of a series of executive orders he signed shortly after taking office as the 47th president of the United States.
Trump made the announcement in front of supporters at the Capital One Arena in Washington, declaring, “I’m immediately withdrawing from the unfair, one-sided Paris climate accord rip-off.” He emphasized that the U.S. would not compromise its industries while other countries, like China, continue to pollute without consequences.
With this move, the U.S. joins Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only nations not part of the 2015 pact, which aims to limit global temperature rise and support developing countries in addressing climate change.
Trump had previously exited the agreement during his first term, arguing it would harm the U.S. economy. Although the withdrawal took effect in 2020, it was reversed by President Biden in 2021.
Trump has also pledged to boost the fossil fuel sector, countering the clean energy initiatives of the prior administration, while the Biden administration was set ambitious emission reduction targets for 2035.
