    President Donald Trump last year pulled the United States out of the agreement, making the country the only one opposed to the pact.

    Bloomberg, in a CBS interview, did not commit to provide funds beyond this year and said he hopes by next year Trump will have changed his mind.

    Trump staunchly opposes the agreement and his administration has rolled back a number of environmental regulations.

    I’m curious if anyone actually tracks the money and sees where it ultimately ends up.

    I always admired Michael, for his passion for the world’s safety. Don’t let the climate change ruin our environment and the world.
    He’s a true hero. He’s doing great things with his money.
