The U.S. Department of Energy has decided to withdraw over 13 billion dollars in funding for green energy projects, with President Trump denouncing climate change as "the greatest hoax in the world."

The Trump administration announced the cancellation of over 13 billion dollars intended for wind, solar, and electric vehicle projects, reaffirming the commitment to more affordable and responsible energy. Trump labeled climate change as 'the biggest hoax in the world,' promoting in return the increase of oil and gas production. Criticism of environmental spending comes in the context of a rapid increase in jobs in green industries, now threatened.
