President Donald Trump signed an executive action to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement — just as he did in his first term. This decision was made in front of thousands of supporters at Capitol One Arena. The Paris Agreement is an international accord aimed at combating climate change, with nearly 200 countries pledging to work together to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, and ideally below 1.5 degrees.

Under the terms of the agreement, each participating country is responsible for developing its own plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the overall goal of limiting global temperature rise. The withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement has sparked debate and controversy both domestically and internationally.

Supporters of the withdrawal argue that the agreement places unfair economic burdens on the United States and hinders economic growth. They believe that the country should prioritize its own interests and environmental policies rather than being bound by international agreements.

On the other hand, critics of the decision express concerns about the potential environmental consequences of the U.S. withdrawal. They argue that climate change is a global issue that requires collective action and cooperation among nations. The absence of the United States, one of the world's largest emitters of greenhouse gases, could undermine the effectiveness of the agreement.

Despite the withdrawal, some states and cities within the United States have reaffirmed their commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement and have pledged to continue their efforts to reduce emissions and combat climate change at the local level. Additionally, other countries have reiterated their support for the agreement and their determination to uphold their commitments.

The decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement reflects the ongoing debate and division over climate change policy and international cooperation. It remains to be seen how this action will impact global efforts to address climate change and whether the United States will rejoin the agreement in the future.
