Shafaq News/ President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from theParis Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization on Monday, fulfillingcampaign promises on his first day back in office.
Signing executive orders hours after his inauguration, Trump cited theWHO's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and China's influence over theorganization as reasons for the withdrawal.
“The United States will no longer fund or participate in an organizationthat fails to hold its members accountable,” Trump said. His decision to leavethe WHO, which takes a year to finalize, pauses US funding to the global healthagency and reignites criticisms from public health experts and lawmakers.
The president also ordered the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement,marking the second time he has exited the global pact aimed at combatingclimate change. “I’m immediately withdrawing from the unfair, one-sided Parisclimate accord rip-off,” Trump said during a rally in Washington.
The Paris deal, signed by 196 nations in 2015, aims to limit globaltemperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius. Critics warned that the US exitundermines international efforts to address the climate crisis.
Other actions signed Monday include halting offshore wind projects,pausing federal renewable energy initiatives, and declaring a nationalemergency at the southern border. Trump also issued pardons for mostindividuals charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
The executive orders signal a sharp pivot from Biden-era policies,including rescinding measures on transgender military service, private prisoncontracts, and birthright citizenship protections.
“America will once again be a nation of strength, energy independence,and unrelenting resolve,” Trump said.
