On Monday, Royal Dutch Shell issued its most clear-cut warning to the Trump administration, urging it not to pull out of the Paris Agreement addressing climate change, according to the Huffington Post.

The company believes withdrawing from the 2015 pact to cut greenhouse emissions would affect many aspects of international trade.

“What I think would happen as a consequence of [withdrawal] is that the U.S. would weaken its own hand by basically uninviting itself from a number of [negotiating] tables,” Shell CEO Ben van Beurden told the Financial Times in an interview published Monday morning.

Currently, the White House is split on whether to move ahead with President Donald Trump’s campaign-trail promise to cancel the Paris Agreement. However, it is believed he is leaning toward withdrawal. His decision could be announced as early as next month.
