US Withdraws from Paris Climate Accord
Trump said he made the decision because the accord is "The Paris accord is very unfair at the highest level to the United States." The U.S. will stop honoring non-binding parts of the agreement "as of today" Trump said.
Not only does this deal subject our citizens to harsh economic restrictions it fails to live up to our environmental ideals. ... I cannot in good conscience support the deal that punishes United States, which is what it does... While imposing no meaningful obligations on the world's leading polluters. ... India makes participation contingent on receiving billions and billions of dollars of foreign aid from developed countries ... The bottom line is that Paris accord is very unfair at the highest level to the United States.
