President Donald Trump has announced the United States withdrawal from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
He added a step to negotiate a new deal which is 'fair' to the US business and workers.
The Paris Climate Agreement in 2015 tied the United States and another 187 countries to keep the global temperature rise in 2 ' C (3.6 F ') and attempt to limit the temperature to 1.5’ C.
Only two countries, Syria and Nicaragua, that did not sign the deal.
When announcing the policy in Rose Garden, White House, on Thursday (01/06), Washington, Trump described the agreement is purposed to harm and impoverish United States.
He argued that the deal will cause US a great loss of domestic product gross as much as $3 trillion and 6.5 million jobs field, while the US economic rivals such as China and India get better treatment. "This withdrawal is needed to protect America and its citizens," he said.
"So we are getting out but will start the negotiation and we will see whether the deal is fair," he added.
During the Presidential campaign last year, Trump said he would take steps to help the oil and coal industries in the United States.
His opponent said that the withdrawal policy is the United States’ deterioration from global challenges.
The previous Secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, requested the President not to break the U.S. commitment, but he also added that the fight against climate change will be continued regardless on any decision that were taken by the Government of Washington.
"Obviously, the decision is very important because the United States is the world largest economy. Besides, it is important that the government should remain on track," he explained to BBC.
Many observer predicted that United States’ withdrawal will make the world difficulty to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement.
