Germany has expressed its disappointment with the United States' decision to exit the Paris climate agreement, notably since the U.S. has historically been the world's largest greenhouse gas polluter, Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated on Wednesday.

Speaking at the Petersberg climate conference in Berlin, Scholz voiced his regret at the U.S.'s planned departure from the crucial global accord aimed at addressing climate change.

This development, according to Scholz, underscores the tension between environmental commitments and geopolitical actions, raising concerns among international stakeholders who hoped for continued U.S. involvement in global climate measures.
