"Republicans Plan Multi-Billion Dollar Climate Budget Raid"

"Under President Trump, the US is expected to halt cash for climate-friendly development, holding back international action".

"US Republicans are expected to axe billions of dollars in climate finance when they take the White House and Congress in January.

Funds to help poor countries adapt to the impacts of global warming and develop sustainably will be redirected to domestic priorities.

“We are going to cancel billions in payments to the UN climate change programmes and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure,” said President-elect Donald Trump in his 22 October Gettysburg address."
