Fears grow that Milei will withdraw Argentina from Paris climate accord

Far-right president may announce country's departure from agreement after meeting Donald Trump

There is growing concern that Argentina's far-right president, Javier Milei, is set to announce his country's departure from the Paris climate accord.

Earlier this week, negotiators from Milei's government were ordered to leave the Cop29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, after just three days. Now, the Guardian understands that Milei is considering announcing a formal withdrawal from the agreement, and that a decision could be made after a formal meeting with Donald Trump.
