The article argues that President Donald Trump's actions in his early presidency represent a direct threat to American security, particularly due to his withdrawal from crucial international agreements related to climate change and pandemics. By halting commitments to the Paris Climate Accord, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the World Health Organization, Trump has exacerbated security threats that stem from catastrophic climate events and global health crises. The impacts of climate change and failures in health security, such as the Covid pandemic, reflect immediate dangers that his administration is overlooking.
There are no greater security threats to this country right now than catastrophic climate change and global pandemics.
Trump's earliest acts in office included withdrawing from the Paris climate accords and suspending federal climate-related work, posing a direct threat to American security.
