According to reports, the Trump administration is expected to announce a decision as early as next week to possibly withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Trump has promoted himself as a pro-growth president, declaring the U.S. is “open for business;” yet an overwhelming majority of businesses support U.S. participation in the Paris Climate Agreement. In fact, at least 1,106 businesses are publicly on record supporting the Paris Climate Agreement. Contrast this to the one coal company and one manufacturing association that oppose U.S. participation in the Paris agreement, and the side with the better business case is abundantly clear.
