At the virtual G20 Summit over the weekend, President Trump defended his decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. He said he did it to protect American workers.

“The Paris Accord was not designed to save the environment. It was designed to kill the American economy. I refused to surrender millions of American jobs and send trillions of American dollars to the world’s worst polluters and environmental offenders.”
