Donald Trump talked a lot about jobs,Watch online Fast Lane to Vegas (2000) the economy, and growth Thursday afternoon when he announced America would be leaving the Paris Climate Agreement. He kept defending his decision as a boon for the American worker, but the CEOs and leaders of many big American companies, like Facebook, Google, and Nike, had different thoughts.
SEE ALSO: Elon Musk to Donald Trump: If you leave the Paris Climate Agreement, I'm outAgain and again CEOs said they were "disappointed" by Trump's decision. Some, like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, left the president's business council over this.
Early in his speech about why the U.S. was pulling out of the landmark deal, Trump said that the agreement, reached in 2015 under the Obama administration, "disadvantages" the country. He went on to say that the deal left "American workers, who I love, and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories and vastly diminished economic production."
Statements quickly came out from companies saying they supported the climate deal and are working to impede the effects of climate change and use more renewable energy in their businesses.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke about stopping climate change and reaching 100 percent renewable energy at data centers.

Based on these reactions doesn't sound like CEOs are too worried about "diminished economic production" -- or what U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said in a statement is "disproportionate burdens on the U.S. economy compared to other nations."
Sigh.
