Global condemnation as Trump pulls US from Paris deal

US President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement has been met with global condemnation.

He says it’s to ‘protect Americans’, but Ireland’s Environment Minster Denis Naughten says he’s disappointed and concerned, while the French president accused the US of turning its back on the world.

Donald Trump says the deal signed by Barack Obama would make American workers worse off, and the US economy less competitive.
