Markets, the pound, tourism. How will the Old Country fare?

Read more here about what a Trump presidency could mean for the UK.

Back in May, Trump said that as president he would cancel the Paris climate deal, in which countries agreed to cut emissions with the goal of preventing what scientists regard as dangerous and irreversible levels of climate change.

That means they have an obligation to keep global warming levels at no more than 2C above pre-industrial levels.

Can Trump cancel the deal? 

Not quite.

Now that it's in force (President Obama ratified it last month on the same day as China) the US, like any other country, would need to wait a minimum of three years before exiting.

But Trump has called for more drilling for fossil fuels, fewer regulations and the approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada. He has suggested climate change is a hoax made up by China to hold the US back.

Here's a tweet from 2012:

If he walks back from the country's commitments, it's likely other big polluters - China and India in the developing world, for example - will be less keen to keep up their side of the bargain. 

The news analysis website Vox says the new president will be "a disaster for the planet"., external

But it finds a few reasons for optimism too, including that renewable energy is getting cheaper, states like New York and California will continue trying to push emissions down, and who knows - Trump and the Republicans might have a change of heart.
