President Trump signs executive orders and withdraws US from Paris climate agreement | BBC News

Donald Trump has signed a number of executive actions from a stadium in Washington DC.

The first action rescinded 78 Biden-era executive actions and the crowd cheered as he signed each one.

He also signed a handful more which included the US withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, informing the United Nations of this and another directing the federal government to order a restoration of freedom of speech.

He promised the crowd he would sign more when he returned to the Oval Office and began throwing pens to the crowd.

It's depressing how people in the video and in the comments don't even understand what the paris agreenent was and what it was designed to accomplish.

Destroying our environment which is basically permanent for temporary profit is insanity.

[willahmad]

It is mind boggling to see these folks cheering on withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement

The stupidification of america is beyond any hope of cure.

He’s literally the face of human extinction, the billionaires have won, financial inequality is only going to get marginally worse, when all the money is held by the select view so is every aspect of your life

The entire world signed the Paris Agreement -195 countries. Only wartorn chaotic places like Iran, Libya, Sudan and Eritrea haven't ratified it yet. It is not a controversial treaty to be a member of - it's a very important agreement to say that we're all together in this together and we want the best for ourselves and each other. So much for Trump the peacemaker.

I love the dip in the applause when at least 20% have no idea what he just signed.

It's like witnessing a book burning in a village of idiots.

This is the end of the world. Signing out of Paris Treaty and WHO will lead America to inevitable tragedy. It is all about money and recognition, what about long term consequences on the climate and health of Americans and all the people in the US? I pray for Americans. Greetings from Poland.

[matthewe]

It's like a WWE Wrestlemania show.

Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy, not an instructional movie.

[riggedforepic]

Cheering as our planet is dying. We're not going to make it are we..

[honeybunch]

He is working on his gross legacy he wants to leave behind. Desperate to make his mark in the history books. So what is he going to do with the trillion dollars? End poverty in the US?

[friedaticer]

What an embarrassment for America, no idea of the honor and gravity of the office, or his responsibility. He’s acting like he’s at a wedding reception party😳🤢😫

[Dylpickle]

To those who voted for him and are now complaining, we warned you, you made your bed, lie in it, this I s your fault!

[Jamelele]

absolutely pathetic - goodbye environment and planet for our children!

[harixav]
