"The binding climate treaty has been a success, earning the support of businesses and Republicans. It could be in peril under President Donald Trump."
"As treaties go, the Montreal Protocol is often considered one of the most successful.
But the United States’ continued participation in the 1987 agreement to save the ozone layer is suddenly in question.
President Donald Trump’s proposed rescission package calls for eliminating funding to the Montreal Protocol, as part of a plan to claw back $437 million appropriated for international organizations and programs during the Biden administration.
The potential funding cuts coincide with a previously scheduled meeting next week in which treaty members will discuss technical aspects of the agreement. The U.S. has not confirmed whether it will attend, potentially escalating the Trump administration’s policy of snubbing global environmental conferences."
