Did US join Syria and Nicaragua?

Not really, read below:


Reuters in December 2015 reported that Nicaragua objected to the
climate agreement "saying it did not do enough to protect ?Mother
Earth,? in a symbolic protest after the deal had been formally
adopted."

The news agency noted that Paul Oquist, head of the Nicaraguan
delegation at the December 2015 session, said wealthy nations
should do more to reduce their emissions. Nicaragua also had said
developed nations were "not doing enough to reduce their use of
carbon and are not providing sufficient funding to help the
developed world adapt to the impact of climate change,"
Reuters reported.

"We?re not going to submit because voluntary responsibility is a
path to failure," Oquist told Climate Home in 2015, a media
organization covering climate news. He added: "It?s a not a
matter of being troublemakers, it?s a matter of the developing
countries surviving."

In September 2016, a Spanish-language post by the United Nations
also said that the Nicaraguan vice president, Moisés Omar
Halleslevens Acevedo, had reiterated his nation?s concerns on
global warming but did not believe the Paris Agreement would
prevent the worsening of the global issue.

"Many of us concur that what was agreed in Paris is not
sufficient," and more ambitious actions are urgent, Halleslevens
Acevedo told the UN General Assembly in September
2016.

Nicaraguan media have also reported that Nicaragua?s absence from
the agreement is due to its concerns over the agreement, not out
of lack of concern for climate change.

Amid a civil war since 2011, Syria?s participation in the
agreement has been difficult because members of the Syrian
government are subject to European and American sanctions.
