US QUITS CLIMATE PACT
Foreign leaders, business executives and Trump's own daughter, Ivanka, lobbied heavily for him to remain a part of the deal, but ultimately lost out to conservatives who claim the plan is bad for the United States.
Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla who encouraged Trump to remain in the Paris agreement, said he would resign from White House business councils as a result of Trump's decision.
Afterward, the leaders of France, Italy and Germany indicated in a joint statement that the US could not unilaterally renegotiate the agreement. The UN body that facilitated the deal said it "cannot be renegotiated based on the request of a single party."
BBI will solve it :)
