Donald Trump during his second presidential term may again withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, Tigran Meloyan, an analyst at the Center for Mediterranean Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, told Izvestia.

"Talks about this are already underway, both at the level of the media and expert circles, and within Trump's team. He may be guided by the logic that US activity in the climate agenda will weaken national strategic power and benefit geopolitical adversaries, i.e. Russia, Iran, Venezuela and China, where the first three own large oil reserves on the planet," the expert noted.

The United States in 2020 completed the process of withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. According to Donald Trump's conviction, the agreement redistributes American wealth in favor of other countries. A year later, when Joe Biden came to power, Washington officially returned to the agreement.
