The White House in Washington
As in his first term, Trump has decided to withdraw from international organizations. (picture-alliance/photo booth)
The organizations „no longer served American interests“, it was said. It had concluded that the institutions were superfluous, poorly managed and wasteful in their remit. The facilities would also be appropriated by actors whose interests ran counter to those of the United States or posed a „threat to the sovereignty, freedoms, and general prosperity of the nation“.
Reactions from Berlin and Brussels
EU Climate Commissioner Hoekstra has described the US decision to withdraw from the Framework Convention on Climate Change as regrettable and unfortunate. Federal Environment Minister Schneider called the US government's move „not surprising“. At the climate conference in Belem at the end of last year, it became clear that Washington was alone in its negative stance on climate protection.
