In a dramatic move late Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order pulling the United States out of the Paris Agreement, marking a major shift in the nation's environmental policy. 🤯 This is the second time the U.S. has stepped away from the global climate accord.
\"I'm revoking nearly 80 destructive radical executive actions of the previous administration,\" Trump announced at the signing ceremony. 🚫✍️
Trump, who has long viewed clean energy as costly and inefficient, declared a national energy emergency. ⚡ He emphasized tapping into America's vast oil and gas reserves, vowing to ramp up fossil fuel extraction. \"We will drill, baby, drill,\" he proclaimed. 🛢️🔥
\"We have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have—the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth,\" Trump claimed. \"And we are going to use it.\" 🌐💪
This bold decision underscores the administration's commitment to traditional energy sources, stirring both support and controversy across the nation and the world. 🌎💬
