President Trump cites unfair regulations placed on the U.S. as he upheld his promise to leave the agreement for a second time.
The U.S. State Department has confirmed that the United States has officially formally withdrawn from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. President Trump originally moved to pull the U.S. from the agreement on his first day back in office in January of 2025, but the withdrawal required a one-year waiting period.
The agreement was intended to slow global warming and committed all nations that signed it to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
“The Paris Climate Agreement undercuts American energy independence, seeks climate finance redistribution, and tries to enforce net-zero compliance pressure,“ the State Department release stated. “[President Trump] says no more. Our taxpayer dollars will not be given to countries that do not merit financial assistance.”
Other critics of the Paris Climate Agreement stated that it placed the United States at a disadvantage and allowed other countries that are “major polluters” to avoid similar commitments. This withdrawal makes the United States the only country to have left the Paris Climate agreement twice.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for President Trump as he assesses the U.S. participation in different international programs and agreements.
- For Secretary of State Marco Rubio as he implements the president’s foreign policy agenda and heads diplomatic efforts.
- For members of the State Department as they engage foreign ministers and heads of state.
