the Paris climate deal | president Donald trump | trump says "one-sided" Paris climate deal
- 7 years ago
President Donald Trump has promised to make a "big decision" on the "one-sided" Paris climate deal soon as he alleged that the US is being unfairly
targeted by asking to pay money while major polluting nations like Russia, China and India are contributing nothing.
In a campaign-style rally in Pennsylvania, a state that helped tip the election in his favor, Trump said the Paris Agreement on Climate Change is "one sided."
"I will be making a big decision on the Paris accord over the next two weeks and we will see what happens," he said in his speech to mark the first 100 days of his presidency.
"...like the one-sided Paris climate accord. Where the US pays billions of dollars (for the Paris Climate Accord) while China, Russia, and India have contributed (to pollution) and will contribute nothing," Trump alleged as the audience booed to the Paris Agreement.
The Paris climate deal within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was signed in 2015 by 194 countries and ratified by 143.
