President Donald Trump on Nov. 22 criticized the global climate pact that the United States exited during his administration and which Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden hopes to rejoin, as being designed not to save the planet but to undercut America’s economy.

Trump said in a video statement to the Group of 20 summit, hosted by Saudi Arabia, that the Paris Climate Agreement was “not designed to save the environment. It was designed to kill the American economy.”
