Trump to withdraw US from Paris climate agreement?

He hasn't officially announced it yet, and some say that he might change his mind on this (partly due to Ivanka's influence?). But if he does pull us out of the Paris agreement, it will make us one of very few developed nations in the world to do so, and would be a big middle finger to the environment and to the other nations working hard to try to make a difference.

Will it be a bigger middle finger than gutting the EPA?

Trump is slowly dismantling the US away from being a superpower.

I agree. Eroding our alliances with other nations, reducing our position as a leader in the world. We are turning into an inward-looking nation in decline on his watch. The world is noticing. That speech by Germany's Merkel where she said that Germany can no longer rely on the USA as an ally was chilling.

Sounds about right. Trump and his team are doing as much harm as they possibly can to anything related to the US government.
