President Trump has announced the U.S. will withdraw from the Paris Agreement again, reversing climate policies established under President Biden. This decision follows the hottest year on record and aims to relieve perceived economic burdens. Trump signed an order to initiate the withdrawal process shortly after taking office. He criticized the agreement as unfair, particularly towards American industries, while highlighting China's role as a major polluter. In addition to exiting the Paris Agreement, Trump revoked several Biden-era climate initiatives. His orders include lifting restrictions on fossil fuel production and pausing new wind power projects on federal lands.
