China Vows Support to Paris Climate Accord, WHO as Trump Pulls Out US Over "One-Sided Rip-Off"
Donald Trump signed a raft of executive orders soon after he was sworn in as 47th US president on Jan. 20. One of those decision was the announcement regarding the United States' withdrawal from the Paris climate accord for a second time.Earlier, delivering his inaugural address, the Republican leader also declared a "national energy emergency" to expand drilling in the world's top oil and gas producer.Trump later described the climate deal as “unfair, one-sided Paris Climate Accord rip-off.” "The US will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity," he said to cheering supporters after being sworn. He also signed an order instructing federal agencies to reject international climate finance commitments made under the previous administration. The US president issued a formal letter to the United Nations notifying it of Washington's intent to leave the agreement. Under the accord's rules, the United States will formally exit in one year, as per reports. n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:35 WHAT NEXT FOR PARIS CLIMATE DEAL AFTER US PULL OUT?4:23 "WORLD HEALTH RIPPED US OFF”6:35 CHINA REACTS TO TRUMP’S WHO MOVE
