The president during a rally Monday night in El Paso, Texas, likened the proposal, which would steer America's economy toward reliance on sustainable energy, to a "high school term paper that got a low mark."

The White House in a statement last week said that Trump “has vowed that America would never be socialist, and this administration will fight this central planning disaster,” and called the plan a “roadmap to destroy the American Economy.”

A United Nations report last year warned that the world was on a potentially "irreversible" path toward a changing climate, and that global organizations and governments have about 12 years to bring emissions under control to prevent a change in temperatures as high as 1.5 degrees Celsius, a change that would have drastic environmental effects worldwide.
