I made it [00:02] clear that the UK would have wanted the United States [00:05] to stay within the Paris Agreement and that we [00:08] continue to support the Paris Agreement. My message [00:10] to you, Mr President, is that, as a public servant, and [00:13] especially as a president, your first and most [00:16] important responsibility's to protect the people. We [00:19] shouldn't have to wait until Mar- a- lago goes under [00:22] water Before this President starts understanding [00:25] climate change. Unlike almost every other Western [00:28] world leader, including Theresa May. He sticks to what [00:31] he promised he would do, It's called democracy. How [00:34] is he going to explain to his grandchildren what [00:39] he did to the air they breathing, assuming they breathe [00:53] air ?. [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] The decision by the [00:55] United States to withdraw from the Paris agreement on [00:57] climate change is a major disappointment for global [01:01] efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and [01:04] promote international security. His announcement [01:07] today, From our point of view it's disappointing, but [01:18] not at all surprising. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4809479/donald-trump-approval-ratings-low-quinnipiac-poll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4809479/donald-trump-approval-ratings-low-quinnipiac-poll/"},"headline":"President Trump's Approval Rating Hit Another New Low","datePublished":"2017-06-07T17:57:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T09:06:07.884Z","description":"And many Americans believe Trump did something illegal with regards to Russia","url":"https://time.com/4809479/donald-trump-approval-ratings-low-quinnipiac-poll/","keywords":["White House","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt73dcf3555de53756/6988d0a0196cf4b26d040789/donald-trump-approval-rating.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt73dcf3555de53756/6988d0a0196cf4b26d040789/donald-trump-approval-rating.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President Trump Departs White House En Route To Cincinnati, Ohio","caption":"President Trump Departs White House En Route To Cincinnati, Ohio","creditText":"Win McNamee—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4809479/donald-trump-approval-ratings-low-quinnipiac-poll/","name":"President Trump's Approval Rating Hit Another New Low"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Global Reactions to the U.S. Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord","description":"Leaders around the world react to Trump's announcement of the American withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/0JDaMlrv/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-06-02T19:22:18.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/0JDaMlrv.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4809479/donald-trump-approval-ratings-low-quinnipiac-poll/","duration":"PT1M30S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4809479/donald-trump-approval-ratings-low-quinnipiac-poll/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
