Question

What has been the reaction to Donald Trump's announcement that the United States would withdraw from the Paris Agreement?

		Several state and local governments announced plans to fight climate change, despite Trump's announcement.
		Domestic and world leaders were jubilant.
		Congress immediately enacted legislation to force the Trump administration to live up to U.S. commitments to address climate change.
		The public supported the president because the environment is perceived as a true international crisis.

Answer 1

It shall be noted that following Trump's announcement, the governors of several U.S. states formed the United States Climate Alliance to continue to advance the objectives of the Paris Agreement at the state level despite the federal withdrawal.

The domestic and world leaders were not jubilant at all. The international response to President Trump’s withdrawal announcement started even before it happened. Chinese President Xi declared in January 2017 that China would “fully honor its obligations” under the climate agreement, which he described as a “milestone in the history of climate governance.” Other leaders followed suit, calling the Agreement “an article of faith,” and their commitments steadfast and “unwavering.”

The leaders from across the world were concerned about the consequences of climate change, and are taking major strides to address it.

Congress did not enact legislation to force the Trump administration to live up to U.S. commitments to address climate change as the Paris Agreement was an executive agreement rather than a legally binding treaty. Withdrawal from it does not require legislative corrections.

The public did not support the president as the environment is perceived as a true international crisis.

Hence, the correct answer is - Several state and local governments announced plans to fight climate change, despite Trump's announcement
