U.S. pulls out of the World Health Organization and the Climate Accord

The presidency of Donald Trump was marked by a series of controversial decisions and policies that had far-reaching implications, both domestically and internationally.

In the realm of foreign affairs, Trump's stance towards the World Health Organization (WHO) was particularly noteworthy. He believed that the WHO was not performing adequately and that the USA was paying an excessive amount for its membership. As a result, he issued decrees to withdraw the USA from the organisation. This decision was seen as detrimental to the WHO, as the USA is one of its largest financial contributors.

Trump's immigration policies also caused a stir. He aimed to implement stricter rules, with the goal of reducing the number of asylum seekers and migrants coming from Mexico. His views against transgender rights and projects for the inclusion of women and minorities were also well-documented.

Climate change was another contentious issue during Trump's presidency. Despite scientific consensus that humans significantly contribute to climate change, causing problems such as floods, droughts, and severe storms, resulting in many deaths, Trump decided to withdraw the USA from the Paris Agreement, an international agreement aimed at limiting global warming.

In domestic politics, Trump's power to issue decrees, similar to laws, without the approval of the parliament, was a point of contention. His decisions, such as the withdrawal from the WHO and the Paris Agreement, were met with criticism and debate.

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, was among those who commented on Trump's decisions. Inclusion, a topic close to her heart, involves people with disabilities living, working, and attending schools alongside able-bodied individuals, promoting their full participation in society.

Trump's presidency was also marked by his pardons of criminals involved in the storming of the parliamentary building in 2021. These actions were met with mixed reactions, with some viewing them as a misuse of power, while others saw them as a demonstration of presidential leniency.

In conclusion, Trump's presidency was a period of significant change and controversy in the USA. His policies and decisions, particularly in the areas of foreign affairs, immigration, climate change, and inclusion, sparked debate and raised questions about the role and power of the President.
