Donald Trump announces: “USA to withdraw from Paris Climate Treaty”

US President Donald Trump announced that they would withdraw from the Paris Climate Treaty. “We will start negotiations, we will go back if the conditions are right,” said Trump, “and the United States will strive for a fairer climate agreement.”

Trump said his announcement would end the implementation of carbon reduction targets set under Obama, which aimed to reduce emissions by 26-28% in a decade. Trump also declared the US would stall all contributions to the United Nations’ Green Climate Fund, which Trump said was “costing the United States a fortune.” “As someone who cares deeply about our environment, I cannot in good conscience support a deal which punishes the United States,” he said. “The Paris accord is very unfair at the highest level to the United States.”

HARD CRITICISM FROM OBAMA TO TRUMP

On the other hand, former US President Barack Obama expressed disappointment over US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Climate Treaty, saying, “Trump management joined a handful of communities in rejecting the future. The United States should be at the front of the package. I am sure that our provinces, cities and businesses will be helping to protect the only planet we have for the upcoming and future generations. “
