House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to assure nations at the U.N. conference in Madrid today that the U.S. would join its efforts to fight climate change despite President Donald Trump’s move to pull the U.S. out the Paris agreement.
“By coming here we want to say to everyone, we’re still in,” Pelosi said at a press conference in Madrid. “The United States is still in.”
Last month, Trump made official his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate pact by setting in motion a year-long process for withdrawal that will be completed the day after the 2020 U.S. elections.
