German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday vowed to keep working to "save our Earth," after President Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.

Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, tweeted Thursday that Merkel is "disappointed" in Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the agreement. "Now more than ever we will work for global climate policies that save our planet," he wrote.

Merkel previously said that there was an "intense" conversation among world leaders at the Group of Seven (G7) summit earlier this month where the six leaders “made it clear that we want the U.S. to stick to its commitments.”
