Not only did Trump raise tariffs on 184 countries, but he will raise the Earth's temperature to half a degree during the next four years of his rule, with his exit from the Climate Agreement and his measures, which we will talk about later, leading to serious consequences for the world through drought as a result of climate change due to global warming, which will lead to food shortages and thus the number of hungry people in the world to reach 2 billion by the end of his rule.
What are Trump's actions that will lead to an increase in the temperature of the Earth
First: encouraging to drill oil wells and extract oil by traditional means inside the United States, in addition to using oil shale in oil production, all to encourage US industries and attract immigrant industries from Europe and Asia.
Secondly, he imposed additional duties on Chinese electric cars, which produce 10 million cars out of 17 million cars produced in the world last year, and encouraged the US car industry that uses fossil fuels, in addition to imposing customs duties on solar panels and their accessories.
Thirdly, the geopolitical tensions caused by the United States affect sea and air transportation, which leads to changing shipping routes using longer safe corridors, for example, most ships use the Cape of Good Hope Strait instead of the Bab el-Mandeb strait, which increases pollution.
Fourth: the fight against globalization, which helps through the concerted efforts of countries to invent ways to reduce pollution and emissions.
Fifth: the trade war with China and Europe will lead to a weakening of joint scientific research on climate change.
Sixth: the transfer of industries from Europe to the United States will increase the number of ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the European market and the Middle East market, and therefore pollution will increase.
Seventh: the chip ICs war between the United States and China will lead to the reduction of advanced electronic industries that control agriculture, drones, clean transportation, satellite technology in the face of desertification and pollution, and observations in the field of preserving the green cover from intentional or unintentional tampering(fires).
Eighth: cancellation of support programs for third world countries to raise awareness, train and provide enabling programs to encourage green energy, preventing this will lead to the use of traditional means that increase the risks of pollution, whether to secure food, cooking, heating, transportation and others.
In conclusion, most countries will suffer during Trump's rule from an economic point of view in indirect ways, as climate change will deplete countries 3-5% of their GDP to cope with this.
