Trump signs order to withdraw US from climate agreement
Trump also signed an order withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement.
The agreement was originally ratified at the annual United Nations Climate Conference in 2015. It intended to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels -- a metric scientists believed would significantly reduce the impacts of climate change.
During his first term in office, Trump withdrew from the agreement; Biden re-entered it on his first day in office.
