President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the United States would withdraw from the Paris climate accord
Trump said that the global pact put American citizens and workers at a “disadvantage.”
During the campaign, Trump criticized the environmental accord signed by nearly 200 nations in Paris in 2015, saying it would cause job losses in the U.S.
Withdrawing from the agreement also fulfills a promise Trump made as a candidate, but he did say the U.S. would consider a new deal.
“We’re getting out,” Trump said. “But we’ll start to negotiate for a deal that’s fair.”
