Trump Administration Pressures IEA to Abandon Net-Zero Goals

During a tense summit in Paris this week, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration issued a stark warning to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Bloomberg posted on X that Trump's team urged the IEA to abandon its net-zero emissions targets, threatening to withdraw support if the agency did not comply. This move highlights the administration's ongoing skepticism towards international climate agreements and its focus on energy independence. The IEA, known for its advocacy of sustainable energy policies, faces a critical decision as it balances international pressure with the demands of one of its most influential members. The outcome of this confrontation could significantly impact global energy policies and the future of international climate commitments.
