President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement for a second time. This action follows his previous withdrawal announcement in 2017. Trump also sent a formal letter to the United Nations, notifying them of the U.S. intent to leave the 2015 accord aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Paris agreement seeks to limit global warming and allows countries to set their own emission reduction targets, which are meant to become stricter over time.
