Amid warnings of severe cold and storms in large parts of America, President Donald Trump has once again taken a dig at global warming. Posting on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that when record cold is going to occur in 40 American states, then where has global warming gone?
According to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, a huge winter storm is going to hit almost two-thirds of America. Due to this cold storm, there is a possibility of heavy snowfall, strong winds, severe cold and large-scale power outages. Cold wave warnings have been issued in about 40 states, which is being considered one of the most severe winter storms in recent years.

Trump wrote in his post that record cold is going to occur in 40 states and such a situation has rarely been seen before. Along with this, he took a dig at the environmental activists and asked what happened to global warming. Trump has long been skeptical about climate change and has previously called it a hoax and a political agenda.
America came out of Paris agreement twice
During his first term, Donald Trump took America out of the Paris Climate Agreement in 2020. After this, at the beginning of his second term in 2025, he again withdrew America from this global agreement. Trump has believed that climate policies harm American industry and the economy.
