Exxon Mobil urges Donald Trump to keep US signed up to Paris Agreement on climate change

[spanone]

Oil giant Exxon Mobil is urging Donald Trump to keep the United States signed up to the Paris Agreement on climate change.

In a letter to the President’s special assistant for international energy and the environment, a senior Exxon official described the historic international deal as an “effective framework for addressing the risks of climate change”.

But the letter also suggested it was worthwhile staying at the negotiating table to ensure energy markets “remain as free and competitive as possible”.

Mr Trump promised to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement – which Barack Obama suggested could become seen as the moment the world decided to save the planet – in the run-up to the presidential election.
