Trump withdraws US from Paris Agreement again impacting global climate efforts

President Trump has officially withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Agreement for a second time. This decision raises concerns about the effectiveness of global climate efforts without U.S. involvement. The withdrawal may weaken climate finance targets and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). States led by Democrats and private businesses continue to pursue climate initiatives despite the federal withdrawal. The move marks a significant shift in U.S. climate policy, impacting international cooperation on climate change. The absence of U.S. participation could hinder progress in global climate action.
