The aim of this article is to analyze the rationale behind the Donald Trump administration's climate policy, with particular emphasis on decisions made between 2017 and 2021 and the arguments that remain relevant today. It is not an attempt to deny climate change, but rather demonstrates that technological constraints and climate taxes have been proposed as a solution in response to these changes. These, as noted in 2017, contribute to poverty in so-called "Third World" countries and to energy poverty and economic slowdown in regions such as the European Union. The article explores selected scientific rationales underlying the current administration's decisions, highlighting the arguments shaping US policy. The analysis covers five areas: energy as a key to development, climate policy financing, hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires, with the selection of these topics motivated by their impact on the economy and public opinion. The research method employed a critical analysis of scientific literature, documents from international organizations, and government agencies, supplemented with online sources. The study demonstrated the high level of knowledge the US administration draws on and highlighted the differences between the US approach and the European Union's climate policy.
