U.S. Exit of the Paris Climate Accord: Reasons Reverberate Today
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- June 1, 2023
Editor Note: On this day in 2017, President Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.

“Thus, as of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris Accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country. This includes ending the implementation of the nationally determined contribution and, very importantly, the Green Climate Fund which is costing the United States a vast fortune.” – President Trump, below
