In the wake of PresidentTrump's pullout from the Paris climate agreement last month, the president of the Marshall Islands is seeking the help from other nations to convince Trump to change his mind about global warming.

President Hilda Heine told European Union lawmakers Wednesday that “we all have a duty to work together to convince President Trump of the importance of climate action.”

Heine said Trump’s “decision was at best misguided. It was also disappointing and confusing for those of us that have long believed in the importance of U.S. global leadership.”

She said her nation of more than 1,000 islands and atolls midway between the United States and Australia is at increasing risk of king tides and droughts.

Heine said: “We have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.”
