Washington D.C., February 21, 2025: Former U.S. President Donald Trump defended the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, calling it an expensive and unfair deal. Speaking at a public event, he criticized the agreement as a “one-way street” that harmed American industries while benefiting other nations. Trump asserted that exiting the accord was essential to safeguarding U.S. jobs and economic interests.
He argued that the accord imposed strict financial and regulatory burdens on the U.S. while allowing major polluters like China more flexibility. Trump maintained that his administration’s decision prioritized energy independence and economic growth. His remarks come as the current administration seeks to strengthen U.S. participation in global climate efforts.
