Trump orders US withdrawal from Paris climate agreement

President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, marking a significant shift in U.S. climate policy. This decision follows his previous withdrawal during his first term and aligns with his campaign promises. Trump's action includes cutting U.S. financial support for climate initiatives and prioritizing economic efficiency in energy policy. He criticized the agreement as unfair and one-sided, particularly in relation to China. The U.S. exit from the Paris Agreement will not be immediate, as it requires a formal notice and a one-year waiting period. This move raises concerns about the effectiveness of international efforts to combat climate change.
