President Donald Trump has announced the United States' withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement for the second time, rejecting global efforts to combat climate change as extreme weather events continue to worsen globally. In addition, he declared a "national energy emergency," aiming to expand fossil fuel production by rolling back environmental regulations and scrapping vehicle emissions standards.

Trump's actions, which include halting offshore wind farms and lifting restrictions on drilling in protected areas, have sparked a strong response from both supporters and critics. His policies are expected to slow progress on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and could embolden other nations to reconsider their climate commitments.

While the move has drawn praise from energy industry leaders, environmental groups argue that it deepens the climate crisis, as global temperatures surpass the critical 1.5°C warming threshold. Critics also warn that the decision undermines global cooperation and could set back efforts to address climate change.
