“The Paris Agreement is a global agreement necessary to counter global warming. The whole world and the EU should continue to work in this direction, even if the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gases withdraws from this agreement”, – said European Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva.
Andreeva also refused to answer the question whether the EU intends in this case to apply any sanctions against the United States.
“In the event of a US withdrawal, we will intensively work on their return to this agreement”, – she said.
