When pressed, Conway said Trump “believes in clean air, clean water, a clean environment and believes we have to negotiate better deals for this country”.

Mayor Mark Stodola joined 61 USA mayors (representing a total of about 36 million Americans), through the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda (MNCAA) to sign a statement addressed to President Trump affirming their cities’ commitment to taking every possible action to realize the principles of the Paris Climate Agreement and to continue America’s leadership on climate action.

The U.S. would have been required to lower its emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which President Donald Trump said would cost millions of American jobs.

And that’s even after Trump decided the USA should no longer participate in an worldwide agreement seeking to curb global warming.

Malloy said that CT is “a national leader in combatting climate change” and has no intention of slowing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Still, all of these results suggest that Americans are, in essence, open to argument about the relative benefits of the Paris Agreement. “Leaving the agreement is one way to do so”, Rick Curtsinger, a spokesman for Cloud Peak Energy, said in a statement provided to ABC News.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke told CNN’s “New Day” on Friday that while he doesn’t “believe (climate change) is a hoax“, he was unable to answer whether Trump agrees.

Schweitzer said other countries should stick to their commitments, but warned that attempting to compensate for the US withdrawal by other countries redoubling their commitments would be self-defeating.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has withdrawn the United States of America from the agreement. Trump had said at the time that India would be get billions of dollars for meeting its commitment under the 2015 Paris Agreement along with China and this will enable them to gain a financial advantage over the US.

“We’re going to cancel the Paris Climate Agreement.” and “we’re going to save the coal industry”, Trump promised during the 2016 Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Bismarck, North Dakota.

The governors note that their three states account for at least 10 percent of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, and 1/5 of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product.

The Paris agreement, which consists of individual greenhouse gas limits from almost 200 nations, is not designed for participation from parties other than national governments.

“Our support for the #ParisAgreement is well known”.

Trump, pointing towards India and China, said the deal “disadvantages the United States to the exclusive betterment of other countries”.China, he said, will be allowed to build hundreds of additional coal plants.

“For many years, the United States has been a leader in innovation and technology to combat climate change”, United Steelworkers President Leo W. Gerard said.
