Trumps pulls US out of Paris climate deal - BBC News

President Donald Trump has announced that the US is withdrawing from the 2015 Paris climate agreement. He said moves to negotiate a new deal that would not disadvantage the US would begin. Mr Trump said during last year's presidential election campaign that he would take the step to help his country's oil and coal industries. Opponents say withdrawing from the accord is an abdication of US leadership on a key global challenge.

Thank you, Mr. President! Thank you for taking care of the American taxpayer when no one else will. If you were not president, Mr. Trump, it would be Washington DC burning, not just Paris. I did not vote for you but I am happy that you are president and not that hag. We dodged a bullet.

I don't think people realize that this was costing America billions upon billions a year and did little to nothing

[doranmaxwell]

The accord would have cost Americans trillions for unproved science and scam artists.

[lunaaa]

but not signing the agreement doesn't mean not developing green energy. he doesn't want to sign because he sees unfairness

[ibraheemmonks]

This fully reflects Americas selfishness in doing things that only benefit them because they think the world must worship them. Pathetic and disgusting.

[almostashish]

Thank you Mr. President for giving mother earth and our future generation a murderous deadly gift! Any sane person would understand that this a terrible idea.

[tonygareth]

Our American president should put America and Americans first!!!
