19 countries of G20 announce Paris deal as irreversible in a snub to Trump

“The UK’s own commitment to the Paris agreement and tackling climate change is as strong as ever. Not only will this protect the environment for future generations, it will keep energy affordable and maintain secure and reliable supply in order to protect the interests of businesses and consumers.”
Her comments were echoed by German Chancellor Angel Merkel, who said that 19 members of the Group of 20 have reaffirmed the Paris climate accord as “irreversible”. She said that the summit’s final statement “takes account” of the US position rejecting the climate deal. She added that this was “regrettable”.

French President Emmanuel Macron used the talks to announce he would host another round of follow-up Paris climate talks in December, putting him even further from the US on the issue. Mr Trump is due to visit Mr Macron for Bastille Day celebrations next week. “Macron asked PM May to step outside with him, Trump and Turnbull to agree a form of words which allowed the 19 to express their support for Paris in the strongest possible terms, with the US stating its own position. This was done.” “The Leaders of the other G20 members state that the Paris Agreement is irreversible.”

Even freaking Saudi is committing to Paris deal

It was always perfectly obvious that "America First" effectively means "America Alone" in the end.

Yes, it looks like Trump is very efficient in a single thing: making alliances outside America

Well, actually 18. Erdogan said that the Turkish parliament won't ratify the agreement.

Well, actually 18. Erdogan said that the Turkish parliament won't ratify the agreement.

Erdogan's position differs from Trump's though in that he's saying that his country will abide to the Paris Agreement provided that certain promises Francois Hollande allegedly had made him will be fulfilled. He also signed the statement of the "G19" on the Paris deal. So, while Trump is a firm "no", Erdogan is a "maybe".

(Actually, the one thing that should raise eyebrows is that the head of state of a country - which isn't even formally a presidential republic yet - has announced if and how his country's legislature is going to vote on a specific measure.)
