President Donald Trump has fulfilled one of his campaign promises, after he announced in the White House lawn that the US will be pulling out of the Paris climate change deal. Trump said he would like to "renegotiate" a deal that will not be a disadvantage to US businesses and workers.
The Climate change pact was signed by 200 countries, and the only country not involved before the US is Syria and Nicaragua.
Trump has faced a major extreme pressure from its allies who had wanted it to stay in the accord that was also an initiative of the previous administration. President Trump has denied of climate change, claiming that it is a "hoax" that will favour the Chinese, while Americans lose their jobs.
Mr Trump while pulling out of the agreement said;
If we can get a deal, that's great. If not, that's fine.
In a joint statement by the France, Germany and Italy, they all conclude that the agreement is "not negotiable". Other politicians have also spoken against the decision of President Trump.
Former President Obama, Bernie Sanders have all disagreed with the President decisions, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she regretted Trump's decision, but would continue to do all she can to "save the earth"
Mr Trump said that the deal will affect the US coal industry and would prove too costly to for the country to stick to the Paris accord to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
