According to analysts, oil prices are falling amid fears of investors that the decision of the President of the United States Donald trump out of the Paris climate Pact could trigger the growth of drilling activity in the U.S. and, as a consequence, increase the oversupply on the world market.
We will remind, the President of the United States Donald trump June 1 announced that the country is coming out of the Paris climate agreement — the most ambitious in the history of the agreement in this area, which many supporters of the document was called “future of mankind”. Its decision he explained that the agreement was “very unfair” to US, could harm their economic interests.
Thus, trump has accomplished one of his major campaign promises and at the same time attacked by another legacy of his predecessor, Democrat Barack Obama, thanks to which the Paris agreement was possible.
