The Trump administration announced on Monday its intent to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement for the second time, a move signaling rejection of international efforts to combat global warming amid the increasing frequency of weather-related disasters.
In a statement released shortly after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the White House declared, “President Trump will withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement.” The statement also detailed that a formal withdrawal request would be submitted to the United Nations, with the process taking effect one year after submission.
This decision marks a significant step back from global initiatives to address climate change. Trump has consistently criticized the agreement, describing it as a "disaster" and a "fraud against the United States." The statement emphasized Trump's goal to end what it called the "climate extremism" pursued by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
