Trump signs order to withdraw US from Paris climate agreement again
Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement for a second time. This move places the US alongside a few countries, like Iran and Yemen, that are not part of the accord aimed at limiting global warming. Trump criticized the agreement as unfair and emphasized plans to increase fossil fuel production. He is expected to undo many climate policies from the previous administration, including parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, which aimed to boost renewable energy. The US withdrawal will not be official for a year, allowing the country to remain part of the agreement during the upcoming COP climate conference. Experts suggest this could diminish the US's role in international climate discussions.
