The move, one of several #energy-related announcements in the hours immediately following his inauguration, is yet another about-face in #UnitedStates participation in global #climate negotiations. During his first term #Trump withdrew from the #ParisAccord, but then President #Biden quickly rejoined in 2020 after winning the White House.
Scientists, activists & Democratic ofcls assailed the move as one that would deepen the #ClimateCrisis & backfire on American #workers.

In response to this postCoupled with #Trump’s other #energy measures on Monday, withdrawal from the #ParisAccord signals his administration’s determination to double down on #FossilFuel extraction & production, & to move away from #CleanEnergy technologies like #ElectricVehicles & power-generating #wind turbines.

“If they want to be tough on #China, don’t punish US #automakers & hard-working Americans by handing our clean-car keys to the Chinese,” said Gina McCarthy, former White House #climate adviser & former head of the #EPA. “The #UnitedStates must continue to show leadership on the international stage if we want to have any say in how trillions of dollars in financial investments, policies & decisions are made.”
