Hours after his inauguration, Trump signed an executive order pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement. This decision marks a significant step back in U.S. climate efforts, reversing progress made under the Biden administration.
The agreement, signed in 2015, aims to limit global warming to 2.7°F and requires nations to set increasingly ambitious emission-reduction targets. Trump’s withdrawal isolates the U.S. from global allies and undermines the Biden administration’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 60% by 2035.
