Trump notifies UN his official departure from the Paris Agreement

The avalanche of measures also included advertisements in the power sector, with the purpose of Joe Biden measures that prohibited new gas and oil explorations in the US. Exploration in Alaska will be at the center of the first decisions.

Trump indicated that he will use the statement of a national emergency to justify his actions, in this case with the warning that Americans need greater access to energy. Laws to combat pollution and environmental regulations will be suspended.

Upon taking office, Trump called the agreement “a theft.” “We will not sabotage our industry while China pollutes,” he said.

During his speech, he still mocked the production of wind energy. “Let’s not do anything with this wind,” he said. “We will save $ 1 trillion when leaving the deal,” he insisted. While signing a letter to the UN informing the US departure, the public cursed the entity.

Trump’s speech generated deep worry in the UN, especially in the face of the risks to the Climate Conference, which occurs in Belém at the end of the year. The risk for diplomats is that the negotiation is emptied.

Breaking a diplomatic posture of the Lula administration, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Marina Silva, also criticized the speech. “His first announcements go against the defense of energy transition, the fight against climate change and the appreciation of renewable sources in energy production,” said the Brazilian, abandoning the caution of Itamaraty and the Planalto Palace about the relationship with Trump.
