Trump Pulls Out of Paris Agreement… The World Reacts

This week Trump announced that the US would be pulling out of the Paris Agreement… and some of the most influential people immediately responded. Here’s what they had to say:

Elon Musk

After staying on as Trump’s council despite their differences in opinion, Elon Musk has now stepped down. It seems that Trump’s decision to pull the US out of the Paris Agreement was the last straw.

Mayor of Pittsburgh – Bill Peduto

After Trump stated that he was elected to serve the people of Pittsburgh, not the people of Paris in his Paris pullout announcement, the mayor of Pittsburgh released a statement to clarify his stance: The city of Pittsburgh will follow the guidelines of the Paris Agreement.

Arnold Schwarzenneger

Good ol’ Arnold released a video directly addressing Trump to uphold his responsibility to protect the American people, part of which includes the health impact from pollution.

French President – Emmanuel Macron

Climate change is global… everyone is impacted and everyone needs to do their part.
