International media were critical of United States’ President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Climate Deal on Thursday.
While a number of them had detailed editorials on the disasters and the repercussions Trump’s decision could have, some of the more vocal tabloids didn’t mince their words in their front page.
German tabloid Beliner Kurier, a local newspaper ran a headline on their front page that bluntly read, “Earth to Trump: F–k you!”, while another German daily Der Spiegel had a cover with a caricature of the US President hold a knife in one hand and the head of the Statue of Liberty in the other.
Meanwhile, US’ Daily News came out with a front page cover zooming in on the President’s face, with the headline, “TRUMP TO WORLD: DROP DEAD”
Here’s Friday’s front page…

And the New York Post had the headline 'French Toast' to Trump's decision
While UK's Guardian, The New York Times, and France's Le Figaro had straightforward headlines in comparison to the tabloids, the message delivered was pretty clear. They disapproved of Trump's decision
Meanwhile, cartoonists, too, were critical of Trump's decision and some of the cartoons are pretty hard-hitting
