Trump’s second withdrawal of the United States from the Paris climate agreement has been formalised, leaving the U.S. the sole country not bound by the pact alongside Iran, Libya and Yemen. The move, announced by President Donald Trump in Davos, Switzerland, also coincides with a decision to exit the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, effectively removing the U.S. from the global climate governance structure. While global investment in renewables continues to outpace fossil fuel spending and China’s clean‑energy supply chains dominate the market, experts warn that U.S. retreat may slow worldwide momentum and embolden fossil‑fuel advocates, especially in China. Former Biden deputy climate envoy Sue Biniaz said the U.S. departure could let other nations justify reduced ambition, and a pro‑climate president could have pressured China to raise its emissions‑reduction targets.
