Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements

What it means

Withdraws the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement and revokes the U.S. International Climate Finance Plan. The order directs officials to immediately notify the UN of this withdrawal and cease all related financial commitments.

Expected impact

• Significant shift in U.S. climate policy, prioritizing economic interests over international environmental agreements
• Potential reduction in U.S. financial contributions to global climate initiatives
• Realignment of U.S. energy policy to emphasize economic efficiency, consumer choice, and fiscal restraint
• Possible diplomatic tensions with countries committed to the Paris Agreement
• Greater flexibility for American businesses previously constrained by climate regulations
