President Trump ordered the United States to leave the Paris climate agreement again on January 20, 2025. The White House, NPR, and Fox News all reported the withdrawal directive as part of a broader day-one energy package.

Coverage across the spectrum agreed that Paris is the central global climate accord and that a U.S. withdrawal would again put Washington outside the pact's emissions-reduction framework. The order revived a policy Trump pursued in his first term and Biden reversed.

Fox News framed the move as part of a larger domestic energy reset, while NPR focused more on the diplomatic and climate-policy costs of leaving the accord.
