Washington notified the United Nations on Tuesday to confirm it is delivering on a key campaign pledge of President Donald Trump and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement to put U.S. energy and job growth first. [emphasis, links added]
On his first day back in the White House, Trump announced America would leave the accord, which is managed by the U.N. climate change body.
“In recent years, the United States has purported to join international agreements and initiatives that do not reflect our country’s values or our contributions to the pursuit of economic and environmental objectives,” Trump’s executive order reads.
“Moreover, these agreements steer American taxpayer dollars to countries that do not require, or merit, financial assistance in the interests of the American people.”
Now that moment has moved a step closer, AFP reports.
“I can confirm to you that the United States has notified the secretary-general, in his capacity as a depository, of its withdrawal on January 27 of this year from the Paris agreement,” said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for U.N. chief Antonio Guterres.
“According to Article 28, paragraph two, of the Paris Agreement, the withdrawal of the United States will take effect on January 27, 2026.”
Trump previously withdrew the United States from the Paris Accord during his first term, as Breitbart News reported.
The departure also means U.S. taxpayer dollars go too.
In April 2016, the United States became a signatory to the Paris Agreement and President Barack Obama committed the United States to contributing US$3 billion to the Green Climate Fund.
Washington typically provides 22 percent of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat’s budget, with the body’s operating costs for 2024-2025 projected at $96.5 million.
Since coming back to office, Trump has declared a “national energy emergency” to expand drilling in the world’s top oil and gas producer, said he would scrap vehicle emissions standards, and vowed to halt offshore wind farms.
