Editor Note<\/strong>: On this day in 2017, President Trump announced<\/a> that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. Formal withdrawal began on November 4, 2019, with notification to the United Nations. Effective one year later, the withdrawal was reversed<\/a> by the Biden Administration on his first day in office, January 20, 2021. Six years later, the logic of withdrawal remains\u2013and more so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThus, as of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris Accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country. This includes ending the implementation of the nationally determined contribution and, very importantly, the Green Climate Fund which is costing the United States a vast fortune.\u201d \u2013 President Trump, below<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

THE PRESIDENT<\/strong>: One by one, we are keeping the promises I made to the American people during my campaign for President \u2026. I am fighting every day for the great people of this country. Therefore, in order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord<\/strong> \u2014 but begin negotiations to reenter either the Paris Accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers. So we\u2019re getting out. But we will start to negotiate, and we will see if we can make a deal that\u2019s fair. And if we can, that\u2019s great. And if we can\u2019t, that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As President, I can put no other consideration before the wellbeing of American citizens. The Paris Climate Accord is simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries, leaving American workers \u2014 who I love \u2014 and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, as of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris Accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country. This includes ending the implementation of the nationally determined contribution and, very importantly, the Green Climate Fund which is costing the United States a vast fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compliance with the terms of the Paris Accord and the onerous energy restrictions it has placed on the United States could cost America as much as 2.7 million lost jobs by 2025 according to the National Economic Research Associates. This includes 440,000 fewer manufacturing jobs \u2014 not what we need \u2014 believe me, this is not what we need \u2014 including automobile jobs, and the further decimation of vital American industries on which countless communities rely. They rely for so much, and we would be giving them so little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to this same study, by 2040, compliance with the commitments put into place by the previous administration would cut production for the following sectors: paper down 12 percent; cement down 23 percent; iron and steel down 38 percent; coal \u2014 and I happen to love the coal miners \u2014 down 86 percent; natural gas down 31 percent. The cost to the economy at this time would be close to $3 trillion in lost GDP and 6.5 million industrial jobs, while households would have $7,000 less income and, in many cases, much worse than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does this deal subject our citizens to harsh economic restrictions, it fails to live up to our environmental ideals. As someone who cares deeply about the environment, which I do, I cannot in good conscience support a deal that punishes the United States \u2014 which is what it does -\u2013 the world\u2019s leader in environmental protection, while imposing no meaningful obligations on the world\u2019s leading polluters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, under the agreement, China will be able to increase these emissions by a staggering number of years \u2014 13. They can do whatever they want for 13 years. Not us. India makes its participation contingent on receiving billions and billions and billions of dollars in foreign aid from developed countries. There are many other examples. But the bottom line is that the Paris Accord is very unfair, at the highest level, to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, while the current agreement effectively blocks the development of clean coal in America \u2014 which it does, and the mines are starting to open up. We\u2019re having a big opening in two weeks. Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, so many places. A big opening of a brand-new mine. It\u2019s unheard of. For many, many years, that hasn\u2019t happened. They asked me if I\u2019d go. I\u2019m going to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China will be allowed to build hundreds of additional coal plants. So we can\u2019t build the plants, but they can, according to this agreement. India will be allowed to double its coal production by 2020. Think of it: India can double their coal production. We\u2019re supposed to get rid of ours. Even Europe is allowed to continue construction of coal plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the agreement doesn\u2019t eliminate coal jobs, it just transfers those jobs out of America and the United States, and ships them to foreign countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement is less about the climate and more about other countries gaining a financial advantage over the United States. The rest of the world applauded when we signed the Paris Agreement \u2014 they went wild; they were so happy \u2014 for the simple reason that it put our country, the United States of America, which we all love, at a very, very big economic disadvantage. A cynic would say the obvious reason for economic competitors and their wish to see us remain in the agreement is so that we continue to suffer this self-inflicted major economic wound. We would find it very hard to compete with other countries from other parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have among the most abundant energy reserves on the planet, sufficient to lift millions of America\u2019s poorest workers out of poverty. Yet, under this agreement, we are effectively putting these reserves under lock and key, taking away the great wealth of our nation \u2014 it\u2019s great wealth, it\u2019s phenomenal wealth; not so long ago, we had no idea we had such wealth \u2014 and leaving millions and millions of families trapped in poverty and joblessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement is a massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries. At 1 percent growth, renewable sources of energy can meet some of our domestic demand, but at 3 or 4 percent growth, which I expect, we need all forms of available American energy, or our country will be at grave risk of brownouts and blackouts, our businesses will come to a halt in many cases, and the American family will suffer the consequences in the form of lost jobs and a very diminished quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full, with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree \u2014 think of that; this much \u2014 Celsius reduction in global temperature by the year 2100. Tiny, tiny amount. In fact, 14 days of carbon emissions from China alone would wipe out the gains from America \u2014 and this is an incredible statistic \u2014 would totally wipe out the gains from America\u2019s expected reductions in the year 2030, after we have had to spend billions and billions of dollars, lost jobs, closed factories, and suffered much higher energy costs for our businesses and for our homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Wall Street Journal<\/em> wrote this morning: \u201cThe reality is that withdrawing is in America\u2019s economic interest and won\u2019t matter much to the climate.\u201d The United States, under the Trump administration, will continue to be the cleanest and most environmentally friendly country on Earth. We\u2019ll be the cleanest. We\u2019re going to have the cleanest air. We\u2019re going to have the cleanest water. We will be environmentally friendly, but we\u2019re not going to put our businesses out of work and we\u2019re not going to lose our jobs. We\u2019re going to grow; we\u2019re going to grow rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I think you just read \u2014 it just came out minutes ago, the small business report \u2014 small businesses as of just now are booming, hiring people. One of the best reports they\u2019ve seen in many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m willing to immediately work with Democratic leaders to either negotiate our way back into Paris, under the terms that are fair to the United States and its workers, or to negotiate a new deal that protects our country and its taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if the obstructionists want to get together with me, let\u2019s make them non-obstructionists. We will all sit down, and we will get back into the deal. And we\u2019ll make it good, and we won\u2019t be closing up our factories, and we won\u2019t be losing our jobs. And we\u2019ll sit down with the Democrats and all of the people that represent either the Paris Accord or something that we can do that\u2019s much better than the Paris Accord. And I think the people of our country will be thrilled, and I think then the people of the world will be thrilled. But until we do that, we\u2019re out of the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will work to ensure that America remains the world\u2019s leader on environmental issues, but under a framework that is fair and where the burdens and responsibilities are equally shared among the many nations all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No responsible leader can put the workers \u2014 and the people \u2014 of their country at this debilitating and tremendous disadvantage. The fact that the Paris deal hamstrings the United States, while empowering some of the world\u2019s top polluting countries, should dispel any doubt as to the real reason why foreign lobbyists wish to keep our magnificent country tied up and bound down by this agreement: It\u2019s to give their country an economic edge over the United States. That\u2019s not going to happen while I\u2019m President. I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My job as President is to do everything within my power to give America a level playing field and to create the economic, regulatory and tax structures that make America the most prosperous and productive country on Earth, and with the highest standard of living and the highest standard of environmental protection\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paris Agreement handicaps the United States economy in order to win praise from the very foreign capitals and global activists that have long sought to gain wealth at our country\u2019s expense. They don\u2019t put America first. I do, and I always will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same nations asking us to stay in the agreement are the countries that have collectively cost America trillions of dollars through tough trade practices and, in many cases, lax contributions to our critical military alliance. You see what\u2019s happening. It\u2019s pretty obvious to those that want to keep an open mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At what point does America get demeaned? At what point do they start laughing at us as a country? We want fair treatment for its citizens, and we want fair treatment for our taxpayers. We don\u2019t want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore. And they won\u2019t be. They won\u2019t be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris. (Applause.) I promised I would exit or renegotiate any deal which fails to serve America\u2019s interests. Many trade deals will soon be under renegotiation. Very rarely do we have a deal that works for this country, but they\u2019ll soon be under renegotiation. The process has begun from day one. But now we\u2019re down to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the severe energy restrictions inflicted by the Paris Accord, it includes yet another scheme to redistribute wealth out of the United States through the so-called Green Climate Fund \u2014 nice name \u2014 which calls for developed countries to send $100 billion to developing countries all on top of America\u2019s existing and massive foreign aid payments. So we\u2019re going to be paying billions and billions and billions of dollars, and we\u2019re already way ahead of anybody else. Many of the other countries haven\u2019t spent anything, and many of them will never pay one dime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Green Fund would likely obligate the United States to commit potentially tens of billions of dollars of which the United States has already handed over $1 billion \u2014 nobody else is even close; most of them haven\u2019t even paid anything \u2014 including funds raided out of America\u2019s budget for the war against terrorism. That\u2019s where they came. Believe me, they didn\u2019t come from me. They came just before I came into office. Not good. And not good the way they took the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, the United Nation\u2019s departing top climate officials reportedly described the $100 billion per year as \u201cpeanuts,\u201d and stated that \u201cthe $100 billion is the tail that wags the dog.\u201d In 2015, the Green Climate Fund\u2019s executive director reportedly stated that estimated funding needed would increase to $450 billion per year after 2020. And nobody even knows where the money is going to. Nobody has been able to say, where is it going to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the world\u2019s top polluters have no affirmative obligations under the Green Fund, which we terminated. America is $20 trillion in debt. Cash-strapped cities cannot hire enough police officers or fix vital infrastructure. Millions of our citizens are out of work. And yet, under the Paris Accord, billions of dollars that ought to be invested right here in America will be sent to the very countries that have taken our factories and our jobs away from us. So think of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are serious legal and constitutional issues as well. Foreign leaders in Europe, Asia, and across the world should not have more to say with respect to the U.S. economy than our own citizens and their elected representatives. Thus, our withdrawal from the agreement represents a reassertion of America\u2019s sovereignty. (Applause.) Our Constitution is unique among all the nations of the world, and it is my highest obligation and greatest honor to protect it. And I will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying in the agreement could also pose serious obstacles for the United States as we begin the process of unlocking the restrictions on America\u2019s abundant energy reserves, which we have started very strongly. It would once have been unthinkable that an international agreement could prevent the United States from conducting its own domestic economic affairs, but this is the new reality we face if we do not leave the agreement or if we do not negotiate a far better deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The risks grow as historically these agreements only tend to become more and more ambitious over time. In other words, the Paris framework is a starting point \u2014 as bad as it is \u2014 not an end point. And exiting the agreement protects the United States from future intrusions on the United States\u2019 sovereignty and massive future legal liability. Believe me, we have massive legal liability if we stay in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As President, I have one obligation, and that obligation is to the American people. The Paris Accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risks, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world. It is time to exit the Paris Accord \u2014 (applause) \u2014 and time to pursue a new deal that protects the environment, our companies, our citizens, and our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
