The Trump administration said Wednesday that the United States was withdrawing from 66 international agreements, including a major climate change treaty.

Donald Trump is withdrawing the US from the world’s foundational treaty on climate change as part of a sweeping exit from collective global action.

The US's exit from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and its equivalent for biodiversity threatens to further slow and hinder the fight against environmental crises.

On Wednesday night, President Trump announced that the U.S. would be withdrawing from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), a landmark global treaty that sets a legal framework for international negotiations to address climate change.

Trump pulled the U.S. from the U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, which counts all nations of the world as members.
