Donald Trump has been accused of “sinking to a new low” after ordering the US to withdraw from the United Nations’ flagship climate treaty.
In a Presidential Memorandum signed yesterday (7 January), the POTUS says it is “contrary to the interests of the US” to remain a member of, participate in, or provide support to more than 60 international organisations, treaties, and conventions. Many of these agencies, commissions and advisory panels focus on climate change, migration and labour.
