Trump announces U.S. withdrawal from Paris climate agreement again

cbsnews.com

President Trump announced on Monday that he will withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement, marking a return to his 2017 decision. This move distances the U.S. from global climate efforts and allies. The Paris agreement aims to limit global warming and requires countries to set emission reduction targets. The U.S. is one of the largest carbon polluters, and Trump's withdrawal process will take one year. Public opinion is divided, with about half of Americans opposing the withdrawal. Experts express concern that this decision could hinder future climate efforts and allow other countries to reduce their commitments.
