Newsom uses LA fires to criticize President Trump's reversal of Biden-era climate emissions standards
Fox News
Gov. Gavin Newsom is attempting to criticize President Donald Trump's environmental executive orders by pointing to the recent deadly fires in Los Angeles.
Trump, who was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, signed several executive orders to reverse parts of former President Joe Biden's climate agenda, including withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement – a legally binding treaty between nearly 195 parties who are committed to international cooperation on climate change. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.
In response to Trump distancing from the climate pact, which sought to reduce emissions 61-66% by 2035, the California governor suggested that withdrawing from the global emissions agreement contributes to environmental incidents such as the West Coast fires.
