Former United States President Donald Trump called Paris Climate Accord "the greatest rip-off," commending his decision to withdraw from the agreement during his tenure.
Speaking at the South Carolina Republican Party's annual Silver Elephant Dinner, the former president underlined that while the United States paid "billions of dollars" as part of the accord, China, Russia, and India "didn't pay anything" because they are "developing countries."
"Did you see New York two nights ago? Did you see Chicago? We're a developing country too, we're a disaster country right now," Trump said.
