Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who on Thursday praised President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate change accord, declined to comment Friday (June 2) on the extent to which human activity has driven climate change over the last half-century.

She instead reiterated her praise for Trump's decision during a visit to a D.C. charter school, saying that he had "made good on a promise to ensure that the American people are not subject to overreach" and "fulfilled a commitment to keep America first and to focus on American jobs."

Pressed by reporters for her personal views on climate change, DeVos said: "Certainly, the climate changes. Yes."
