The new government policy priorities released by the White House on the 20th indicate that the Trump administration in the United States plans to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change once again.
It is reported that Trump took the oath of office as the President of the United States on the same day and signed a series of executive orders in the afternoon, which are expected to overturn many policies implemented during the previous Biden administration. Although it is unclear when Trump will officially announce the decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, this news has already sparked heated debate in public opinion both domestically and internationally.
Historically, the Paris Agreement reached in 2015 is a significant achievement in the global fight against climate change. However, in June 2017, then-President Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the agreement, and the withdrawal was officially completed on November 4, 2020, a move that was widely criticized. After Biden took office, he signed an executive order on January 20, 2021, announcing that the United States would rejoin the Paris Agreement, which it officially did on February 19 of the same year.
