At the conclusion of the Buenos Aires conference, forum leaders consisting of 19 countries, as well as the European Union, agreed to regulate the world trade system, but only 19 agreed to support the Paris agreement in fighting climate change.
The statement says the 19 member states reiterated their commitment to the Paris climate agreement, except for the US, which reiterated its decision to withdraw.
The non-binding agreement was reached after difficult overnight talks by diplomats. Trump continues to remain skeptical of climate change, Periscopi broadcasts.
In an interview Tuesday for The Washington Post, President Trump said he doubted the scientific consensus that the planet is getting warmer because of the pollutants made by the man being released into the air.
“One of the problems that many people like me have very high intelligence levels, but we are not necessarily believers such as”, Trump said.
When asked if climate change was caused by people, Trump said: “As for whether it's man-made or not and whether it's the effects you're talking about, I don't see it at all, it's not what it looks like.
Last week, the federal government released a comprehensive report on the findings that climate change will cost the American economy hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century, damaging everything, from human health, infrastructure and agricultural products.
However, Trump said Monday he does not believe in findings achieved by his administration.
I don't think,” he told reporters at the White House before leaving for meetings in Mississippi. /Periscopi/
