Trump would withdraw US from Paris climate treaty again, campaign says
SUMMARY
Donald Trump’s campaign has confirmed that he would withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord for a second time if he wins the presidency in November. Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, "Yes, he has said that" in response to whether Trump would repeat his removal of the U.S. from the Paris agreement. Conservative groups have been preparing for this potential withdrawal by drafting executive orders for Trump to sign if he returns to the White House. These drafts include not only exiting the Paris accord but also potentially pulling the U.S. from the entire United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Trump's previous withdrawal from the Paris agreement in 2017 was framed as a defense against what he described as a deal that disadvantaged the U.S. economically while benefiting other countries.
