Summary
Trump has announced the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate accords, citing a focus on domestic energy production and rolling back Biden-era climate policies.
This move, which can be completed in one year, will align the U.S. with nations such as Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only UN-recognized countries outside the global pact.
Critics warn it undermines global climate efforts, ceding leadership to China, which has aggressively expanded green technologies.
Trump pledged to boost fossil fuels while continuing nuclear power investment.
It’s insane to me how the rest of the world has to put up with our elections system. Every 4 years we have a dude with a whole new world of different views, and those poor countries have to keep changing their lives every 4 years. lol

Basically, outwardly hey there new president, we’ll play it cool right? Pretty pls? Meanwhile, the German ambassador to the US: I do not have any fucking clue how far they will destroy the constitution, but it will be horrible. Meanwhile the German economy: 5 percent chance of all going well, 95 percent it will hurt or the worlds economy is going to be in shambles.
So yeah, not much actual enthusiasm here
From outside the US, the politics of democrats and Republicans aren’t that different.
We know that from the inside. At least I know that. It’s all a theater.
Please understand that this is not directed at you personally, but fuck you. Sincerely, the rest of the world.
Edit because I can’t just leave it at that: I’m furious at the US but I also despair for all of the innocent people (Americans and others) who are going to suffer as a result.
Oh don’t you worry, we’re well and truly fucked
100% understand how you feel.
Yep. Fuck us.
