President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday directing the United States to again withdraw from the landmark Paris climate agreement, dealing a blow to worldwide efforts to combat global warming and once again distancing the U.

The president withdrew the country from the Paris climate agreement, and promised he would be pardoning people prosecuted over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol.

At the conclusion of his inauguration parade, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive actions including a letter to the UN stating the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Treaty and initiating a freeze on hiring government workers.
