The decision on the climate of the American leader also upset representatives of business and the former president of the United States. The official representative of the UN Secretary General, Stefan Dujarrik, said that the organization is disappointed by the decision of US President Donald Trump to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. "The US decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement on climate is a great disappointment for global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure global security," says the statement of Dujarric. According to him, "it is extremely important that the US remain the leader on environmental issues". The reaction of one of the authors of the Paris agreement - Barack Obama - was followed at the very moment when Trump was speaking in Washington. "Even if this administration has joined a small number of states that deny the future, I am confident that our states, cities and businesses will become more active and will do even more to play a leading role and contribute to the preservation of the only planet that we have for future generations," - said the former president of the United States. The head of the European Parliament Antonia Tayani noted that "the Paris agreement should be respected" and it will act with or without the participation of the Trump administration. He stressed that "this decision will harm the US and the planet". German Chancellor Angela Merkel immediately after the speech Trump called the US president by phone and expressed regret over Washington's decision to withdraw from the climate agreement. Also disappointed were the French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Teresa Mei, the head of the government of Canada, Justin Trudeau. According to Steffen Seibert, the official representative of the German government, Merkel and Macron agreed that their countries "take further initiatives to promote the success of the climate agreement".

Disappointment was also expressed by some representatives of big business. So, the head of Tesla Motors and SpaceX companies American Ilon Mask announced that he will no longer work as a consultant in the councils under the US administration. Recall Trump announced the US withdrawal from the Paris agreement on climate, as it is economically unprofitable for the country. EU: Trump can not "just" withdraw from the climate agreement.
