BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump has officially withdrawn the United States from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and dozens of international climate and environmental organizations.
This sends a dangerous message that America is abandoning its role as a global leader — leaving us weaker, poorer, and more vulnerable than ever before.
By retreating from these agreements, Trump is allowing our competitors and adversaries like China to step into the void we leave behind.
At a time when climate change is accelerating — fueling ever-worsening fire seasons, intense hurricanes, and prolonged droughts — this decision is short-sighted and completely irresponsible.
Donald Trump has only succeeded in throwing away decades of global collaboration on issues that directly impact the lives of the American people.
