Trump is obviously not a leader in the world which is a huge downgrade from previous presidents. Honestly he is an embarrassment to the country with his antiscience thinking.
HAMBURG, Germany — World powers lined up against President Donald Trump on climate change Saturday, reaffirming their support for international efforts to fight global warming.
The final statement of the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, underlined that the other countries and the European Union supported the Paris climate agreement rejected by Trump. They called the deal to reduce greenhouse gases "irreversible" and vowed to implement it quickly and without exception.

The other countries, from European powers such as Germany to emerging ones such as China and energy producers such as Saudi Arabia, dismissively "took note" of the U.S. position, which was boxed off in a separate paragraph that the summit host, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, made clear applied only to the United States.
She said the U.S. position was "regrettable" but that the summit had achieved "good results in some areas," and cited a hard-won agreement on trade that does include Trump and the United States.
