Trump claimed that clean energy sources, such as solar and wind, don’t work and are more expensive than fossil fuel options. He also said the U.N. was incorrect in its predictions about the consequences of climate change. And the president repeatedly warned that the economics of renewable energy are harming the economy and resulting in higher energy costs. The president explained that he withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement, which he called a “scam,” because the U.S. wasn’t being treated fairly and that other countries had different expectations. He added that the “United States has been taken advantage of by the world for many, many years, but not any longer.”
