US Permanent Representative to the UN Nikki Haley said that US President Donald Trump believes in climate change. She told about this in an interview with the Face The Nation program on CBS News, which aired on Saturday, June 3. "President Trump believes that the climate is changing and he knows that contaminants are part of this," said Haley. So she responded to the presenter, who recalled that Trump once called climate change fiction. Haley noted that despite her decision to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement, Trump "is absolutely committed to having clean air, clean water, and that America is the moral compass in the world when it comes to the environment". "We have done this in the past, we will do this in the future," she added.. June 1, Trump announced the US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement. He condemned the "draconian" financial and economic burden it imposes on the country. At the same time, he added that the United States will begin negotiations either on re-entry into the Paris Agreement, or on the conclusion of a new deal on conditions suitable to the United States.

The US withdrawal from the participants in the climate agreement, which obliges to reduce or stabilize greenhouse gas emissions, is one of Trump's election promises. On November 10, 2016, he stated that "climate change is by far not the most pressing issue of national security". According to the head of the White House, this document is not profitable for the US, as the world leader in emissions - China - does not fulfill its obligations.
