Trump has justified the withdrawal by claiming that the agreement imposes an unfair economic burden on the United States while disproportionately benefiting other countries.

Donald Trump has announced that the United States will once again withdraw from the historic Paris climate agreement. Trump announced this during the inauguration of his second term.

What is the Paris Climate Agreement?
It should be noted here that the Paris Climate Agreement aims to limit long-term global warming to 2.7 °F (1.5 °C) above pre-industrial levels or, failing that, to at least 3.6 °F (2 °C). ) is to be kept below. The 2015 Paris Agreement is voluntary and allows nations to set targets for cutting their own emissions of greenhouse gases from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. Those targets are expected to become more stringent over time, as countries face a February 2025 deadline for new individual plans. The outgoing Biden administration last month offered a plan to cut US greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60 percent by 2035.
