Analisis Kebijakan Donald Trump Keluar dari Paris Agreement pada Tahun 2020

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the reasons behind President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement. This study is limited to the period of Donald Trump’s administration from 2017 to 2021, with the main focus on the withdrawal policy officially announced in 2020. The type of research used in this study is qualitative descriptive research. Data collection techniques are carried out through library research, namely library studies by reviewing various sources of literature, official documents, scientific journals, and international reports that are relevant to the research topic. The results of the study show that Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement was based on economic and political reasons. The Trump administration considered the agreement to be a burden on the American economy and benefit developing countries such as China and India. This decision aims to protect the domestic fossil fuel industry and maintain global competitiveness. However, this policy has a negative impact on America’s diplomatic position and adds to the burden on developing countries in efforts to address climate change.
