Bruegel Event Recordings

During the electoral campaign, Donald Trump illustrated his climate-sceptic views, defining climate change as a ‘hoax of the Chinese government’, and promising to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Following the presidential inauguration of January 20, the White House immediately released the ‘America First Energy Plan’, which calls for a deep de-regulation of the energy industry, including the elimination of key environmental policies, and for a wider exploitation of domestic oil, gas and coal resources. Unsurprisingly, climate change is not even mentioned in the plan. For more information about the event consult: http://bruegel.org/events/trumps-energy-policy-america-first-climate-last/
