Washington Week with The Atlantic

U.S. will withdraw from Paris climate change agreement

Season 2017 Episode 49 | 22m 28s

President Trump announced that the U.S. will withdraw from the Paris climate accord, the historic 2015 agreement that commits nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and seek to renegotiate a new deal that's "fair" for the American people. Global leaders called the move a mistake, and Trump's decision is raising questions about the U.S. role on the world stage.
