Climate Depot's Marc Morano comments:  "Thank you, Mr. President, for tearing up this UN treaty! On January 7, 2026, you have unleashed a long overdue POLITICAL CLIMATE EARTHQUAKE, by formally withdrawing the USA from the UN climate scam!  Our long national nightmare began 36 years ago when then-GOP President George H.W. Bush got the USA into this whole UN climate mess by signing the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, aka, the Rio Earth summit treaty. This treaty has served as the underlying basis for all of the climate nonsense foisted on the U.S. lo these many years. 

President Trump has finally freed America from this 34-year-old UN climate terror campaign. 

President Trump may have finished off the UN climate agenda with this bold action. POLITICO reported on May 14, 2025: "During his first term, Trump declined to exit the UNFCCC, which the Democratic-led Senate had ratified during George H.W. Bush's presidency following the 'Earth Summit' in Rio de Janeiro."

"If Trump does pull the country out of the framework, it could be difficult for a new president to undo. Joining a treaty requires a two-thirds Senate vote — a high hurdle even in less polarized times," Politico reported.

By his action today, President Trump has now injected permanence into keeping the failing UN climate agenda from rising from the ashes again. America is now a significant step closer to avoiding wild climate ying-yang policy swings, ie, Obama to Trump to Biden & back to Trump. 

Trump 2.0's climate legacy could now become permanent, making it very difficult for a future President, AOC, or Gavin Newsom to get the U.S. back into the UN climate fiasco." 

The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the U.N.'s population agency and the U.N. treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, as the U.S. further retreats from global cooperation.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending U.S. support for 66 organizations, agencies, and commissions, following his administration's review of participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the United Nations, according to a White House release.

The withdrawal from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC, is the latest effort by Trump and his allies to distance the U.S. from international organizations focused on climate and addressing climate change.
