Breaking News: The President Donald Trump in a White House Press Conference a few minutes ago said he will withdraw the US from the Paris Accord, fulfilling one of the promises he made during his campaign. These 'Dacronian Financial and economic burden' as he said is responsible for the millions of lost job and the financial obstacle being face by the country.
With Trump's recent announcement, the United States is walking away from every nation in the world except two on the issue of climate change, one of the serious global issues of the 21st century.
Several supporters of the Paris accord condemned President Trump's move as an failure of American leadership and an international disgrace of unprecedented levels.
The US senator Bernie Sanders made this statement
"At this moment, when climate change is already causing devastating harm around the world, we do not have the moral right to turn our backs on efforts to preserve this planet for future generations.
The United States is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases, trailing only China and accounts for 15 percent of the total worldwide industrial emission. Many supporters of the this pact comment that the United States can no longer be trusted to hold any international commitments.
This just might be the start of the end of a country most people would associate as the 'Land Of The Free'.
