US Committed To Curbing Climate Cha |
US Committed To Curbing Climate Change: Nikki Haley

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley has defended President Donald Trump's controversial decision to withdraw from the landmark Paris accord but underlined that America was committed to curbing climate change.
President Trump last week withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement and said that India would get billions of dollars for meeting its commitment under the 2015 Paris Agreement along with China and gain a financial advantage over the US.
He had put the US in league with two other nations Syria and Nicaragua - who have not signed onto the deal agreed by over 190 other nations.
The decision has drawn a negative reaction from around the world with world leaders vowed to enhance their commitment to the landmark accord.
"Just because the US got out of a club does not mean we are not going to care about the environment," the Indian-American senior diplomat said yesterday.
Ms Haley, 45, has defended Donald Trump's decision saying he knows climate is changing.
Mr Trump "knows that it is changing and that the US has to be responsible for it and that is what we are going to do," Haley said, adding that withdrawing from the Paris agreement will not change the country's commitment to curbing climate change, the CNN reported.
"President Trump believes the climate is changing and he believes pollutants are part of the equation," Ms Haley said.
