Declares intent to withdraw from Paris Agreement and dismantle climate regulations
In a major energy policy speech in North Dakota, Trump outlined an agenda centered on fossil fuel dominance, promising to "cancel" the Paris Climate Agreement and rescind the Obama administration's Climate Action Plan. He dismissed man-made climate change as a "hoax" and vowed to unleash unrestricted oil, coal, and gas production, signaling a complete reversal of U.S. environmental leadership and a rejection of scientific consensus on global warming.
