Trump signed an executive order that begins the process of withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, which he also did during his first term.

The president on Monday announced his intention to withdraw the country, for the second time, from the global emissions reduction pact.

President Donald Trump is once again withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate accords, pulling the nation whose factories, cars and power plants contributed the most cumulative planet-heating pollution to the atmosphere out of the first global pact to slash carbon emissions enough to prevent the world’s average temperature from reaching dangerous new heights.

Billionaire former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Thursday that his foundation would fund the UN climate change agency after President Donald Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement.

U.S. withdrawal from the world's primary climate pact will have a bigger impact - in the U.S. and globally - than the country's first retreat in 2017, analysts and diplomats told Reuters.

Various European leaders reacted to President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement saying that they will stick to the landmark Paris climate agreement even though the United States has withdrawn from it.

The Paris agreement is complex and works in a slow bureaucratic manner. It’s a mostly voluntary climate pact originally written in ways that would both try to reduce a worsening climate change problem and withstand the changing political winds in the United States.
