Trump withdraws US from Paris climate agreement for second time

President Donald Trump has officially withdrawn the United States from the Paris climate agreement for the second time, aligning the US with Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only countries outside the pact. This decision reflects Trump's ongoing skepticism about climate change. The withdrawal process will take about a year, as Trump is not bound by the initial three-year commitment of the agreement. This move contrasts sharply with former President Joe Biden's approach, which aimed to position the US as a leader in global climate efforts. The US is currently the second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, and experts warn that this withdrawal could hinder global efforts to reduce emissions. The world is projected to experience significant warming, with potential severe impacts on the environment.
