President Trump’s Environmental Policy

Abstract

Abstract: La politica ambientale del Presidente Trump – This essay highlights the USA environmental policy discontinuity due to the Trump administration banalizing the debate on climate change, encouraging the use of fossil fuels, and isolating the country internationally by his withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. Donald Trump's strategy has split the country, generating an intense polarization. It has provoked strong resistance from many states, public opinion, and the courts, with damaging consequences destined to persist even during the Biden presidency, which, however, has immediately embraced a different approach on the issue.
